[red gt500]

i just finished installing my 2.8 kennebell
when i shut the engine off after the first start up i took of the TB to make some adjustments there is water inside the sc and the elbow nothing crazy but small amount mixed with oil i have checked the dip stick no water of any kind all oil inside decided to start it again and give 15 minute to warm up and shut it off took off th TB nothing !:??::??:

now i dont know if its really leaking or not am confused

any one had this problem ?

Not making sense. There shouldn't be any water in the inlet period. Even if the LC failed in would run out of the vent in the drive before it made it by the rotor pack. The water is more than likely from condensation or cleaning. Was this a used kit or new?

I had this. The water was coming from the intercooler.

yes i know its not making any sense..but for sure there was water inside the inlet and also the rotor after the first start i dont know if its from the lc system or the lower ic
its a used kit with less then 3k miles

Yes to MikeHoncho, what was the "fix", what I/C did you have in your car?

It was a new KB Bigun. The shop took it back apart and said it was just an o-ring going to the intercooler. Not exactly sure where.

Thanks Mike.

Do you still have the KB Bigun installed? or did you have it swapped with another I/C?

Good to hear!! I just bought one, with an intake already modified for the full Bigun flow.


Thanks for your replies.
