NOTE: The WRENCH and CLOCK icons at the beginning title are part of a RATING SYSTEM that I created. The chart/diagram is at the very end of the video. You can assess my builds and repairs by this chart. It is used to scale the time and level of expertise required for each project that I upload. It is a rough estimate and based on what I’d consider averages.
Therefore, some may do it much faster, or slower.
Check it out, I hope it helps!

How are these inlets holding up?
They're good. I've had no issues at all, not even a pop off lol. They were pretty heavy duty quality when I installed them, so I wasn't too worried. However, if you don't secure the front one, some people have theirs get eaten up by the pulley.
Im still waiting on the android touch screen update haha.
LOL, yea...I hear you. I am sorry about the delay. I have most of it done. I am about to give up waiting for a reply on the connection/hardware issue and just post it soon. At this point, I have a few more updates (that occurred since I filmed the video) to throw in as well. It will for sure be posted this month, and likely sooner than later.
@@fixitcolton hope to see a true honest opinion on it, I’ll keep a lookout when it’s posted!
what is an Inlet?
.. wait. are americans now calling intakes, inlets 😂🤣😅 ... americans and their crazy language
It's all part of the air intake tract, but inlets are what we are paraphrasing as the part that connects to the turbo compressor housing entrance.
@@fixitcolton silicone/rubber hose from turbo to intake? (other wise known as intake pipes)
