Review on Skunk2 626 12 0050 Cooler Subaru Scion by Todd Adams

Revainrating 1 out of 5

hard pass. It is absolutely impossible to properly tighten the fittings.

Have you installed and tested this on a BRZ/FRS on the road? The included Earl hose fittings make them nearly impossible to tighten. The 45 degree hose fitting twists when tightened and doesn't point where it should. Fittings will bend and break when held with pliers. The package does not include Loctite paste. Fittings leak while driving because they are loosened by high-temperature oil. Maybe these guys think people never have to pull their hoses. They may have installed the fittings and then crimped the hoses. I could see that maybe it wouldn't leak out like that. I can't believe they're getting over $150 for this. Should have bought Mishimoto.
