Build is finished a few days ago, i forgot to update. hah. i'll have to get more pics. For my intercooler piping, i used PVC, 2.5" from turbo to intercooler, then 3" from intercooler to TB. it's a mockup, then i went and got the custom piping made and its all together. I'm working on the tune, which ill prob need some help with. I'm writing a small tune to drive it so i can get it to a dynotune w/WB.

car does idle, drives, builds boost, i have it running rich for now, better safe than sorry.

Weld a ring on the ends of the pipe about 1/4 to 1/2 inch from the ends then when you re-install them just make sure the t-bolts are behind them. Remember to set the welder down you want to add material not burn a hole in your piping.

I used 2 10 inch puser's. I also have the griffen radiator that everyone runs on here. If you need Part numbers for anything i can get them for you. Anyways, 2 10 inch fans with this radiator, even on dyno pulls, stop and go temp has not gone over 190's.



Post up your numbers when you get it dyno'd.

Ps... I tried to put 2 12's on this radiator, and no way to make them fit. The 10's i got are 1000 cfm each.
