Default Its on my list. my IM gets really hot. My buddy had one (not an a4) and it worked great

as long as you get the kind like you pictured. don't get the POS single piece ones, they melt.

Default search around a bit.. i'm sure some people had a horrible time with them..

with pics... it was a while back... but ... i can't remember.. i think it was fuel was seeping through, cause flames to come out.. or something weird... basically just not worth it.

Default I sorta remember something like a clearance problem also on some .

When spaced something else was hitting or not fitting.
