Wow this thread is back from the dead. LOL


Here is the info on the IC piping.

I bought the piping from CXRacing.com.

I emailed them and made a special order. The kits on ebay include pipes you don't need. I did have some piping left over but I rather have more then come up short

Here is the piping I bought from them
1 – J pipe
3 – Straight pipes
2 – 90º L pipe
2 – 45º pipes
2 – 45º hose couplers
6 – straight hose couplers
25 - T-bolt clamps (Some may vary in size if you have transition hoses)

This does not include the transition hose couplers for the IC core, turbo and MAF. Sizes can vary depending on set up.

2 - 3” to 2.5” (IC core)
1 – 2” to 2.5” (Turbo)
1 – 3.5” to 2.5” (MAF)

What size piping did you go with 2.5 or 3.0 & is that piping holding up to the boost ?

Oh sorry for bringing it back from the died.. I searched & found this thread.

The piping is 2.5". Holds up with no problems

I'm glad this came up again. This way guys can see what is used for a turbo setup.

Ok i think i might just get that instead of buying the Intercooler Kit from ZZP & save some money.

Be careful, I believe Sal uses the car mostly for drag, so he has his own reasons to delete the front bumper support. If you get a large enough front mount, you would most likely need to do this also. Its not totally unsafe, but it is another piece of metal protecting you from really messing up yourself or the car.

It will be cheaper to get all the piping and front mount on your own. You can get a smaller FM, model# TR10 (I think), that should fit behind the bumper support.

I will be making a bar that will go across in front of my car soon. This way I am a little protected.

I really only use my car on the weekend if I have a chance and at the track.
