Yeah. They are one of the easist things to change. It's 2 bolts. And I have no idea why they would use plastic!

Got my car back yesterday after getting a new timing belt, wheel bearings and other money stealer "routein" things. Now today I'm putting in my APR r1 DV and the AWE tuning center vent boost gauge that just arrived

It was 2 days after the seafoam though (but the thought had crossed my mind).

Haven't had an issue since. Gotta change the oil in both cars this weekend...
