Installed HPX Line.....Freaking sweeet!
I installed my HPX line tonight, it took about 5 mins to install. Installation was a breeze...take plugs out, put boss's in then connect the ends! I started it up to make sure there where no leaks, then i said to myself. (I can here myself think!) Much quieter now, and i didnt notice at first but it started like it was at operating temp when it was cold. 
So i double checked for leaks before i drove it. I also disabled the wastegate, now when i start out in 1st gear the RPMs dont drop to crazy numbers....its well worth the $50(and the headache of leaning on your chrome grill trying not to scratch dickens out of it).
On another note, when i was installing the HPX line i noticed oil back underneath the turbo. Looks like it dripped from the bottom of the turbo where the wastegate rod is onto the back of the engine then runs down the side onto the ground. I dont see puddles but when i was underneath the truck inspecting a drop almost landed in my EYE! What should i be looking at here? Thanks

JMO, but, I would suggest buying the line ITP offers. It is a stainless steel line, and you don't have to worry about changing out a rubber hose once it starts to deteriorate or ruptures on ya. It is a few bucks more, but well worth it in the long run I think. Just my 2 cents worth
