Brake bleeding and clutch bleeding?

I want to flush my brake fluid so I can put in ATE SuperBlue, doing so do i need to bleed the slave cylinder as well since they share the same resevior?

Also, I tightened the tbolt clamps for the intercooler piping. How tight should they be torqued down?

Gm recommends vacuum bleeding the clutch, but since you are exchanging the fluid that probably wont work - are you going to pressure bleed it?

As for the t-bolt clamps, just torque em down nice and tight. Unlike worm clamps you wont strip them unless you hit them with 100 ft lbs lol.

Well I was going to manual bleed the brakes, just wondering if I have to do the same for the clutch since they share the same resevior. Not familar with the system

Unfortunately yes, you will need to bleed it as well, since they do share the same reservoir (the master cylinder).
