I cleared every single thing on my profile and it still says that :/ not sure what to do anymore!

I finished installing everything in the interior except the cubby since I'm thinking of modifying it.

Also figured out how I'm mounting the PS cooler to clear the intercooler. Hopefully it gets enough cooling here though!

Another small update!! The intercooler piping turned out to be way easier than I originally thought. By using a cheapo eBay universal kit, I didn't even have to cut or modify anything for the driver side.

Currently working on the passenger side which is a little bit harder but hoping to finish it tonight.

You might consider using hump couplers on some of the connections to lower the strain on the joints when the motor rocks a little.

Edit: Are the tube ends beaded? Do you have access to a bead roller?

Had these on my charge pipes and you can see them take the flex on revving.

Yes the tube ends are beaded (driver side at least:ughdance:) and that coupler looks like a good idea!

I might buy it for the bottom intercooler connection. Thanks again.

Well the passenger side wasn't as easy as I'd hoped but it's still done after some manual cutting and a vice to hold the pipes.

Now I'm focusing on how to locate the turbo inlet in a cool location! It's super tight in there and I'm not sure where to put it at this point but I'll figure something out :)

awesome work buddy! I know you are going to finish this soon :tup:

husam2012 05-25-2017 09:15 PM

Finally received the downpipes! Hopefully the car will be ready by Monday so I can tow it to a nearby muffler shop.

I will be routing them to where the oem Y pipe goes so I can change exhausts easily down the line.

Ah ok. That makes sense. That's nice to have at least. It makes custom fab work easy when you have the base flange in hand lol.
