I am really disappointed and I hope nothing internally was damaged since it pretty much drained the entire system of 6.4 qts or so. Basically what happened was right after the install I drove the car until it reached 180F. The I redlined the hell out of it for a while. The temp was still doing good and there were no leaks of any kind. Then I decided to take long route home on the freeway and see how it did on the temp while highway driving. All I remember is at one point I down shifted from 6th to 4th at 80mph and brought it up to about 6800rpms and thats when it happened. Any ideas? were the hoses not sealed properly above the AN fitting.
Here is the pic of right after we installed it. Of course its not the aftermath pic. I really wasnt in the mood to even lookat the car I was so disappointed.

First of all we do apologize for any inconvenience we may have caused. a replacement hose has been sent out last week with a return shipping label so we can get the old part back to further investigate what caused this issue.
Couple of points that i would like to make, This is the first time that we had this happen and we have sold lot of thees kits, Now defiantly a mistake could have been made in the proses of assembling the hose, but also base on the picture you posted above there is really no slack to the oil cooler hoses what so ever and with the engine torquing against them could cause the problem you're having .
