Very interested in the IC. What size is it? And what all did you cut for it to fit there. I like how you cut the foam. Just what I was looking for. Any more pics? thanks
Cant wait to hear it run
edit: is that a black fernco coupler before the TB?

Lol, sure is. Can't beat $3, the cheapest I could find them elsewhere was like $9 plus shipping.
Heres the intercooler:

definitely. How did you get the IC to mount up? I noticed two steel straps coming off the bottom. Any more pics?

Thanks again guys.
Freak, my stall was for my n/a set-up so it's most likely too high but I'm going to see how it does. It's a yank ss4000. It did very well for my cam only but I'm not so sure with the procharger.

Having seen the aftermath of those rubber couplers, i wish you best of luck with them. 5psi might be ok, anything over that you might have to order a real silicone piece.

Jake, which ones are you reffering to? I wouldn't think the ferncos could burst, they are way too thick and have ALOT of stretch. The ones down by the procharger and intercooler are four-ply which I believe is the same as you sell. The only ones I'm not to sure about are the two by the bypass valve, they seem to be just plain thin rubber but I plan on replacing those with some 4-ply black ones so it all matches up in the engine bay.

those ferncos should last. The only issue i've had with them is that when it gets hot under there they tend to get mushy and stretch/flex (which is why theyre great as a home made smooth bellows for lid cars). So every now and then make sure theyre snug and the pipes are still nice and secure. IMO theyre worth it because they wont rip and theyre dirt cheap.
any more info on that IC? just curious how you secured it on the bottom (and top too i guess).
