Default Anyone installed the Samco TBB? How is the fitment? I just installed an AMS chip. (M)

I'm considering installing the silicon TBB as a preventative measure, but I was told that it has fitment problems, mainly the upper cover will no longer clear and the clamps. Any input?

I just installed the AMS chip this weekend and I must say that it's quite impressive. The power is so smooth all the way to redline. When cruising, I'm able to shift more smoothly probably because of the hugh increase in torque.
Thanks Marc and Doug.

Default I have the Samco hose set along with the TBB and F Hose. Fitment is fine

although I am using the RS4 Carbon Fiber Engine Covers which are actually a little roomier than the stock S4's covers - hence no problems or issues with fitment.

Default Could you tell us some more specifics?

Who makes/sells this? What's the process for the reinforcement?
