Frybrid kit was pretty good with connectors. Few things pissed me off -

All the fuel tstat, LP, IP, main filter housing barbs were 5/16 but the Frybrid valves are all 3/8 and all they supply you with is 3/8 hose. I got a few "just tighten hose clamps tighter" responses before I went and got proper 5/16 hosing. Only problem with that, ofcourse, is stretching 5/16 hose over their 3/8 hydraforce valves. What they *should* of done is supply 3/8-5/16 adapters for valves. They acted put out by that suggestion, said its different for every vehicle how can they design for every vehicle? Easy, supply little adapters...

Other than that, all fittings were decent. I hate NPT threads and had some issues with coolant leaks on their terminating fittings at 1st but all thats fine now. Would have like to see standard threads, custom terminating fittings but that would drive cost up.

The VO controller is simple circuit board but Im sure they had to have it made specially. Cant see paying $500 for one of those but whatver. It works and works well!

Only problem I seem to have at moment is loosing prime on Dino - engine stalls on switch back when its really hot. Sure its an air leak on the D2 side (prob due to stretch hose!).

8k miles and counting.
