Silicone meth elbow ?

Hi,

I need a meth elbow with custom located bungs (my intake blocks the standard bungs location) and so far I haven't managed to get someone to do custom located bungs for me. So now I think about using some Loctite with a silicone elbow (not the stock one) to lock the meth bungs into place (I was provided 2 brass threaded meth bungs with my Aquamist kit). Did anyone use this method on N54 or other cars ? I need to know if is feasible at least temporarily until I get a proper elbow.

Thanks !

I use this silicone adapter from Howerton on my turbo e36 w/ HFS-3. Pressure tested to 30psi with no leak.

You gotta pay to play, but no JB weld is gonna hold up to sustained boost pressure.

Aquamist is manufactured in England. Get on their forum and contact Richard L.
