Paul Whiffin Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Boost leak? The fitment on the Whifbitz SMIC used to be terrible. That was about 10 years ago where the first batch was made wrong, we've had many changes since then and are now a very good fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trevorc Posted December 19, 2019 Author Share Posted December 19, 2019 issue has been traced to rubber bit in new oem bearing, odd as left side has new oem bearing as well and that is fine, whifbitz smic seems to be fine as well only occurs at sub 10mph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
