Thanks for the post Zack! I wonder if he will produce a PSRI in the future? His welds are NICE.
I sent mine to a metal fabricator down the block from my shop. Total cost = FREE.

cant belive i had that pos on my car
2010 fusion se
OK!
So I was wrong about the welds being 'pretty good'...but I called it on the thin materials:
"Wow...that sucks!
I'm not sure that the welding is the problem.
Those beads look pretty good.
I think that the problem is the thin sheetmetal that is used.
I'd be willing to bet that it vibrates and has a 'harmonic' with the engine rpm.
That is causing excess metal stress and then a fatique crack(s)."
I will collect my forensic engineering fee at a later date...
BTW: That guy does it the way it should have been done.
I wonder how many Naz-intake buyers have bad vacuum leaks and don't even know it?

Man, I really wanted one of these intakes, and almost bought one.
And that website is awesome, looks like that guy does some great work!
Thank you for posting it.

I reached out to T.J. and he's considering his own PSRI. Funny thing he also thinks the flutes on the end of the runner my be just a Naz gimmic and may not be necessary. Maybe there will be more to come!
So did Naz just up and disappear? There has to be alot guys out there looking to really mess him up! That was alot of money collected!
