I like you and don't want to get into another bun fight with you about this, but for the sake of future redblock turbo owners who might not know any better and stumble across this thread, it's really important to make this clear....

#THE TURBO CARS DO NOT HAVE A FLAMETRAP#
If you're referring to the gauze/filter in the middle of said assembly as the flametrap Joe then i agree, they don't. However, i've always known it as the entire fitting that the Americans call a nipple.

Now there are a lot of terminolgy differences between here and the USA - rocker panels in the US are sills here just for one example, as i think i said before when this came up in conversation on here, would it not be simpler for all concerned to say that turbo cars don't have the filter inside the flametrap? Or what are we going to call the "empty" plastic fitting?
Terminolgy can be a pain at times, especially on similar items and one or two words or even letters can make all the difference. I certainly don't want a bun-fight over this but i would like to come to some resolution so we all know what we're refrring to with the plastic three-legged fitting that has a filter/gauze inside on n/asp cars and is empty on turbos.

Open to suggestions!
