Message	- they're awkward to install, especially in tight areas next to the plenum and the intake piping near the radiator - you have to get them lined up exactly so the threaded end doesn't stick out, contact or damage something... like the hood - easy to overtighten and you have to get a deep well 7/16 or 11mm socket in there, can be challenging - not easy to pull and replace quickly if you're doing boost leak testing and troubleshooting - look great the first install, start to get beat up with every pull and replacement
