[QUOTE="tobynt, post: 11461325, member: 115996"] [B][SIZE="4"]Now that everything has come full circle with my warranty issue. I will fill everyone in. After I got the lower intake powder coated and ready for the final install. I bolted it up to the engine. When I started to bolt up the fuel rails. The bolts for the driver side just feel into the hole. The holes where over sized. Too big for an M6 (factory bolt) and too small for an M7 bolt. It was just the drivers side and not the passenger side. I stopped. Took a picture and shot an email off to Tork Tech. I got a reply the same day via email and was put in contact with Charles. After a few email exchanges I was offered two options. He could either send me a "Helical insert kit" or send me a new driver side intake component. For those who do not know, the lower intake is actually three pieces. Center main section and then the runners (ports) bolt to that. Sense I had already powder coated the intake he was offering up the helical insert kit as an option. I felt that was a fair offer but I asked him to go ahead and send me the new runner. So, from a warranty stand point. Everything was smooth as silk. Response time was less then 24 hours to complete a resolution with absolutely no hassle. Shipping is of course very slow at Tork Tech but the new intake runner did arrive a few days ago. I also received emails from Tork Tech over the weekend which I felt was very impressive. I didn't use the intake runner because I already knew what I could do to fix my issue. But I also ran into the bosses for the COP's were in the same shape. Either way, this is what I did. Re-tapped the fuel injector rail bosses for 1/4-20 bolts and re-tapped the COP bosses for M6 bolts. problem solved. I didn't tell tork tech that I had already planned on doing this because I wanted to see what they would do for a warranty issue and how they would handle it. I give them an A++. At no point was I accused of stripping threads out or damaging the intake myself. Nor, was I asked to re-tap anything or have it repaired.
