Well, here's some pics of teh new IC pipes being built. I also went and had some tabs TIG'ed on the FMIC to mount it a little sturdier than before. NOtice how long and straight i was able to make some of the pipes. I figured while i was at it the less turns the better for airflow, and this already feels better than my old stuff for some reason, but it is 2.5 the WHOLE way, not just the UICP and turbo "j pipe" so to speak.
EDIT: One thing i did that's been eating at me to get done before pushing much boost is changin EVERY SINGLE IC pipe coupler to sillicone and usint good strong T-bolt clamps EVERYWHERE!!!! I feel confident tht i'll never blow off another IC pipe again!!!!!!!!
Here's me just getting started with the bumper off and IC mocked up with plumbers strapping... The pipe from turbo and upper pipe have both been started on at this point too
Here's me doing some welding
A little more progress, the upper is just dangling at the bottom, but is getting closer, the turbo pipe is through the hole in teh fender but not hooked up here
Almost finished. I remounted teh DIS-2 while i was at it. Turned it lengthwise with the car.
All done. Now i just have to make an apointment at the chrome shop to get them finished up and purdied out!
I"ll get some pics of the AEM install here soon too. I'll run out and snap them i just hope the PC doens't restart when i hook the camera up like it did this time
