Front mount intercooler and hard pipes?
 
hey all..
I'm itching to start modifying, lol. Next week I'm getting an intake and secondary bypass pipes! I'll have to have someone fab up some primary delete pipes, but we'll see on that.

I dont see any kits for hard pipes/FMIC out there on the market, has anyone ever seen this? Any custom kits out there..I saw one on here. I'm thinking of just picking up a Tig welder (I can tig) and fabbing my own over the winter. 2.5" Stainless throughout. Can it be done? Or am I asking for trouble :D

I thought about this when I first got mine but you should prob log IAT before going and spending all that time and money making a front mount and hard pipes. Plus with the little turbos on this thing you make have a large pressure drop going to a big front mount. Maybe fab up some better side mount ic's.

Good point...stuff to think about for sure.

+1 Unless your making significantly more power (ie. bigger turbos etc) go with larger, more efficient side mounts
