Jeesh Tex.. just show a tech inspector the SW'd TB and if they don't wave you right through, the inspector is a ball buster.

A bit of "fear mongering" on a Monday..
Check out this pick of oil puddling in the intake of a recent Rennlisters engine. He was at the track and his car was performing beautifully and was nicely prepared. He was driving superbly, car was sounding amazing. There were no indication of the looming risk (video evidence).. If it hadn't been for onlookers/spectators that told him of seeing some smoke out the tailpipe at times, he would have never known !! If he had been out solo carving Canyons instead of on a track, the outcome could have been catastrophic !! This is the EXACT reason I Invented the UAOS..

Thanks again Aaron...
Hopefully the UAOS will get here in time to get it installed before the next track day on 9/1

Trying to prepare for install..
Bought the aluminum water pipe fitting to replace the plastic.
I don't have a good set of hose clamp pliers... Was thinking of ordering the below set pliers + clamps to remove and replace with new, thoughts ?

Although Ötiker clamps are awesome, especially where subjected to vibration, you likely won’t need them for the UAOS install.
I think that @Porschetech3 installs those for you unless you upgrade your accumulator later.
You need spring clamp tools.
I mainly use some modified Dollar Tree pliers and a cable wire clamp tool.
I also have some others I used.
You’ll also need lots of 1/4” socket extensions.
My favorite tool during the install quickly became my magnetic 10mm shallow socket.
Take a look at the UAOS Tips and Tricks thread.

Several of us have posted some pointers there.
Lots of tool suggestions there too.

I don't think anyone has mentioned it yet, and this isn't the most scientific way of measuring things, but if you were curious how much oil has to accumulate before the slow blink coolant light comes on, here you go:
I accidentally over filled my oil. Glad I had this style AOS system to catch it.
