thats not too mature.... im glad you have yours on but i really could careless about mine. i often check my rearview when ever i see a car pull up to me and i dont tailgate so i should be good.

relax i was kidding, im just saying that i probably wouldnt compromise the safety of my car for a cleaner engine bay. but good luck with the one sided piping and post updates of your route.

...as for a cleaner setup from a w2a i don't think so personally...a big box on top of my vavle cover just doesn't seam clean...having to unhook all that bull**** just to pull a spark plug...kinda ghey..fmic>w2a in looks and aggressive styling

but itch that thing is hot...although personally i would have gone with a shorter core that thing is freakin huge looks like the piping should setup rather nicely and work great...lookin forward to see some piping pics

you have 700 dollars for an intercooler.... In reality depending on where you take your car to get the ic done at... well it all depends.... if I were you I would just get a front mou nt intercooler....

the DSM intercooler thats pictured below I always wanted to try because of the way our turbos point it would make it alot easier.

It might be worth trying. But anyhow after you buy an intercooler for around 125-200 you have pipping + couplers.. do not buy the ebay crap... then a bov/bypass valve... depending on where you take it to get the pipes done you should be around 500 dollars....

For intercooler pipe, piping is piping. I told Jon to buy an ebay DIY polished aluminum intercooler kit for $100. Make cuts with a band saw and bead roll the ends. This is easy stuff. Buy t-bolt clamps and be done with it. it will look great and will never have any slippage and/or boost leaks. It's just piping for WARM air to pass through.
