Background///
With a pro intake, there is similar vibration to stock, but with less reinforcement. so some have used dan's super boot to provide extra stability. i have used it through this past carb boot, but I still had issues that needed moderate attention.
take away number 1. you really do need to locktight everything. those who have blasted before are probably laughing.
Main question/// for those who use the superboot, looking at the boot post use, i get the impression i would tighten the thing down, and vibration would sand the middle ridge flat. it would then be just loose enough, that then i'd have an issue, tighten down again, and be good to go. But with more vibration, another leak, ect.....
you can see a stock boot on the left and a boot with 400 miles on it to the right.
my thought before i replace put the new one on is to sand/ cut that middle ridge off. i think that will allow for a fantastic solid seal and support.
I assume this will get rid of my problems.
anyone ever do something similar or do you have another idea to share. also attached is the super boot to show what I'm talking about for those new to blasts.
wear gear, ride safe.
