No prob, let us know if it goes smoothly.

The lower Greddy pipes only came with their IC (or maybe I'm wrong, they sell it separately), but mine came as a kit with the IC, including couplers, hoses, fittings, hose clamps, etc. That being said, your biggest concern may be whether or not it works with the stock intercooler!

I had a nipple like that on my HKS RS...after I installed my AVC-R I didnt need to hook that line up because it got rerouted to the new wastegate controller....if you have an EBC...you may not need to hook it up...I can shoot a picture for you if you need one...

He has a XEDE - it uses the stock solenoid lines, except, the XEDE takes over the ECU's boost capabilities.

Ugh, don't scare me. Then again, you also said not to worry and that everything would match up just fine.

Next time buy your parts from a good vendor. Sith's sometimes leave out parts.

my nipple on my AMS lower IC pipe is plugged intentionally.
I have a Hallman MBC.
Everything seems fine this way.

JJ, are you the one with the big scary turbo in your car who came up here for the dyno day a couple weeks back and took me for a ride? I think it's you, just wanted to make sure. The more I think about it the more I think I might just weld and tap a nipple onto the damn pipe...none of the solutions are all that eloquent.

Thanks,
Sam

Well, that's cause I thought you had the Greddy IC to go with it!

The part that I'd be afraid of not fitting is the pipes on either side of the IC itself. The Greddy IC has cast end tanks that are near the bottom of the IC, as opposed to the stock IC which has end tanks that point downwards, and for that matter don't even reach that far, since the stock IC's size from end tank to end tank is much smaller than the Greddy. You may be able to fit it with some custom hoses, though.

He'll need a 45 degree coupler in order to connect them to the stock I/C. Maybe his kit came w/ that.

Sounds like you flip flopped the lines at the "T"

I didnt remove the lines from the "t" just the one that went to the dump tube nipple and tapped into the bov-manifold line.
