letMeIn is an unknown quantity at this point
I will be upgrading to GT2 setup soon, and Im wondering if I should just replace everything including lines.

You have to replace the flex line from the wall of the transmission tunnel. Replacing the hard line from the reservoir to the trans tunnel (the only other line) might be problematic.

I had the same experience with installing a BBI unit. The first unit they sent was faulty, and the second unit they sent also was faulty. Leaking from inside the BBI slave.

We must have bled the clutch 15 times, replaced 4 slave cylinders and all the flex and hard lines in the ENTIRE clutch system.

BBi ignored us after the second unit failed. I eventually went to the GT2 slave from Evoms. It has worked flawlessly since and no issues.

STAY AWAY FROM BBi. Their quality control is **** and they don't care about their customers. I spent at least $4K in labour and parts trying to get their system to work - on top of the
cost of the BBi unit.

**** that sucks! Sorry to hear...I was so excited when they released the product. I removed my helper spring during the winter time so I'll see how that goes when the weather gets better.
