Need a new FMU, but I need my arms and legs too

Green92LX · 02-19-2001, 11:21 PM

I got my S-Trim on, but the freakin FMU leaks out the bottom. I need a new one, but I don't want to be taken for a total ride. Where can I get one for a reasonable price, everyplace I know of wants like 2 bills....

I would consider a rebuilt kit, but the thing is brand new; it has about 20 minutes use. I snugged the bolts this morning before work and started the car, and it didn't leak, but as soon as I give it boost and the pressure spikes, the damn thing starts to seep somewhere out of the bottom, but I can't tell where. I know it isn't coming from the lines, its starting higher than that...anyone else have problems with Paxton FMU's???
