miniram?

those with miniram what are you running for thermostat housing? i'm having problems with my unit since my area is so limited i'm trying to come up with something new and would like to know what the rest of you are using as mine doesn't seal quite right causing alot of problems for me.

once again another wonderful tpis design..

Make sure that TPIS gave you the CORRECT thermostat housing. They are notorious for giving the WRONG housing to us F-Body guys. Most people I know received the wrong housing. TPIS has a special housing for F-Bodies. The angle is much different in that it points UP a lot. Here is an old pic of my setup which shows the angle the best. Click HERE. Also, if you look closely you can see the big weld where they chopped and rewelded the housing.

ditto to traxion's post. I also got the wrong housing the first time. Call them up and ask for the f-body specific one.

yes i see what your saying...i too had the same thing happen but rather then waiting for them i just had mine fixed. however it isn't the angle or anthing like that. it's the way the thermostat is held in place the ridges are on the housing rather then the intake itself.

see mine is on an almost 90 degree angle because of room...
