All speedflow fittings with elbows and all. Starts in -8 I think and then after the filter drops down to -6 (sizes might be wrong could be 6 down to 4) Had it for almost 2 years now never leaked and looks spot on 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helbz Member 176 Member For: 13y 6d Posted 04/03/12 02:13 AM Share Posted 04/03/12 02:13 AM An error ? but the older style is dearer and must be specifically asked for ? sounds like corner / cost cutting to me buddy, why take the risk when the mscn with speedlow kit is made in house by someone who actually gives a sh*t what his customer is getting and doesn't fail ! give earls the flick I say, there should be no errors with kits like this and should be fully tried and tested before going onto peoples cars.

helbz Member 176 Member For: 13y 6d Posted 04/03/12 02:36 AM Share Posted 04/03/12 02:36 AM It doesn't matter what I think , people are spending money on garbage! as you stated it's a simple setup, a hose a filter and some connections and they can't even get that right due to cutting corners and costs. there is various threads about these dodgey kits and zero about the Speedflow ones and personally I can vouch for the customer service and they make it in front of you if you are in the area. They are not mass produced rubbish. Buy one and see for yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing that has a leak is the filter itself which is earls but it's about 1 drop every 6 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
