Dirty Boots
am i clear that if the boots on the intercooler pipes are oily, i have a leak, and this leak effects performance? next, when i am into this, i should do the foil delete? next, is this just a case of loose connectors or should i expect to replace the boots?

oil will seep through any crack..it doesnt hurt to pull them off and give them a good bath..if they look good then reuse them..if your taking the boots off..it would be the best time for the foil delete..and the ccv mod

Best stuff for the glue on the I/C pipe is Crown Sol-U-Strip from Lowes. Get the thick stuff and some of those long rubber gloves so you don't get any on your skin. I just kept applying for about 30 mins and working it with shop towels and wire brush. Here is the thread I started on it:
