Upgrade Procharger piping and clamps? I just added a P1 to my 01 C5. I love it but the kit was used and the fit leaves something to be desired. I'm sure it is just a matter of taking more time and working the piping to a better place. But wild i'm going to all that trouble, are there any suggested upgrades?
I'm thinking t-bolt clamps would be a great start. I'm only going up to about 10psi on this setup, so i don't see a need for v-band clamps. Any other upgrades come to mind? Maybe better piping altogether? This is a dual ic setup and will remain so until am affordable FMIC becomes available in a configuration that i want. So a piping upgrade would need 2 y splitters. Include ideas on what to do with that, if anything.

I did the same thing this past weekend most of what I did was cut the rubber hoses and loosen the clams to twist and turn things. Heres some pics before and after.

By the way, you need to change your signature. Your C5 isn't bone stock anymore. lol Bob

It might as well be bone stock for now. Still saving for the fuel system to really turn her up. But thanks for the advice, Bob. I'll just work this stock piping. Any idea how many clamps of what sizes I need to order for a full C5 kit? I'm at work and would love to order now if anybody knows.
