I got JEGS U Bends and then went to muffler shop slapped my car on the racks and figured out how to run my piping. I kept AC as well. My Fuel Management is the ever so hated SF system.... I took my chances and gave them my money and I hounded them until they gave me a legit Tracking Number and when it got to me there was soo much **** missing (Relay, Plastic T, Vacumm Hose) and on top of that my brass fitting to my inline fuel pump was stripped... Called SF and they told me to send it back to them... blah blah blah... I was thinking yeah right so I can wait another 5 months before I get it back. I went to my Local Fluid connector store and had them look at it. They told me it was a custom fitting. So my Buddy and I were sitting in my garage looking at it thinking, I know we can fix this. Then we got an idea! JB WELD! Well it worked the pump and fitting don't twist anymore and they don't even move actually. So my opinion would be wait for the return system that SLP is making or if you want take your chances with the SF system.

Id also like to know what people are doing for piping. Im thinking of getting pre-bent pipes from somewhere, and getting a local shop to weld them together once I piece everything the way I want. Is there enough piping in a kit to complete the set-up, and was it hard for those of you who have done it already?

not sure, PM opto and see what he did. C2i0v0i1C used his AEM CAI and had his shop make pipes. You can get a muffler shop to make up pipes, but i think that would be the most costly route.

Piping is Perfect No flaws what so ever.

^and you did it yourself? Any pics?
I was thinking of using my CAI, but someone told me the piping was too wide, and it wouldn';t be very efficient. Maybe they though wrong.

 
Rep Power: 607

C2i0v0i1C is making over 250whp......LOL. SF's intake piping is 2.5" and the rest is 2.25".

For pics of my IC piping **** check out my cardomain page.. Seach on Members Rides for it... you should be able to find it.

^Any links....i tried searching but cardomain sucks. What is the piping on a CAI? Cuz that would make my piping like 100 times easier, cuz all I would need is piping from the compressor thru the windshield reservoir to the intercooler, and then up around towards the intake.

what intercooler would be best to get. i was looking at spearco, but i dont know what to get. cost doesnt matter, but i dont want more than i need. im gonna be boosting about 15 psi by the time im done with internals and everything

im looking more and more into this. found some parts that i would want, il post them later. but i dont know what to get as far as the turbo manifold, downpipe, and wastegate. are the hks manifolds any good? what are you using import racer?

 
Rep Power: 0

HKS manifold I will be upgrading to a Equal Length "Ram Horn" Manifold soon though.

Intercooler is a Johnny Racecar Intercooler dimensions are 6" Height and 30" Length.

^sweet. Nice size intercooler too! So did you find it hard to mock up you're piping and cut it/weld it?

 
Rep Power: 511

where are you guys getting your hks manifolds from and whats the cost for one of them?

eh, it wont bolt up to the t3 60 trim i want to get :/

guess i would ahve to buy a new flange for it

 
Rep Power: 319

^yah. Didnt you say you wanted an external wategate too? This one is designed for internal gate's. Have you bought anything for you're set-up yet? Seems like there are alot of people building custom! I love it!

 
Rep Power: 511

lol only think i have bought so far was an internal adjustable wastegate from a saab. i want my first real purchase to be my t3 super 60 that way i can kinda guarantee myself that im gonna do this

my shop doesnt make pipes, he can weld, but cant make mandrel bends. the AEM is what he uses for all the cars he does turbos for, in regards to the upper pipe, my intercooler was a GREDDY type 31 kit for a GSR, and then had to modify that a lil
