All the factory joiners are pretty much useless and can't handle the heat. I've split 3 on the throttle body in the last couple months trying to run a bit of extra boost. Got another one today that I've made myself out of some decent High temp oil resist hose with 6 layers of fabric braid inside. I've gradually replaced all of mine and work well except the throttle body so hopefully this new one will work better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
