A thicker o-ring would be good, but I installed mine a few months ago and have not gotten a code.

Note that Dinan did respond to this issue in another thread and pretty much said there should not be a problem. I think at least a few would disagree. Maybe this thread will trigger a further response from Dinan. I suspect it could have 3000 thicker o-rings made for $5 each.
Did you add JB Weld after you installed the inlets to where the inlet meets the turbo housing?
