Ratter has mentioned the problems with them leaking before.

Just see how you go, at least your aware to keep an eye on it.

When you receive it send it back and pay the extra for the good one. I wouldn't take the chance, you could be up for quite a bit in labour swapping them out.

no leaks with my speedflow fittings been on the car about 20,000km still use earls inline filter and had no probs with that.. I made my own up as I did not like the earls lines with crimped fittings so made mine up pretty much same as my old ETM line I had.. IMG_2454.jpg

Mate, I noticed you have turbo side intake and battery on passenger side. Did you to this yourself or buy a kit? cheers

So 1 model design of the earls lines leak, so all of them are to be considered no good?

Nope Just the one that has leaked due to cutting costs and not enough thorough testing, wont have that problem with mscn one though

You have a vested interest in MSCN?

If I use your logic, my earls line is better because it doesn't leak & was cheaper. Has crimped ends too.

Nope just an interest in people getting a good product. what's your interest, brown tounging ratter? lol

I had to pull an Earls oil cooler off my mates R33 at powercruise on Friday, the brazing had let go and was pushing oil out when the pressure came up.

Stopped at MSCN to get a couple of speedflow fitting to by-pass it and they mentioned they had been to court over the Mocal parts (earls use Mocal from the UK)

Unfortunate how such a quality brand has started to go south!
