The best LICP for stock turbo?

I'm sticking with the stock turbo. Is there any company out there that their LICP eliminates that little black tube coming off of the turbo? In other words, a LICP that actually starts at the turbo outlet? I spoke with Buschur and theirs utilizes the little black tube. I'm still using the stock FMIC also. Thanks.

The XS engineering kit bolts directly to the turbo but is a full kit.

I guess you don't know much of the LICP market. . I suggest HPF,buschur and AMS.

AMS and Buschur on my cars as we speak.

Last time I put one of those on a car they re-used the black turbo outlet pipe that the guy is talking about. Not what kits are made.

I actually ran 30 psi on the Evo 8 and Evo 9 on race gas and the pipes never came out. But I don't doubt your history.

What are you talking about? He asked what kits don't re-use the stock black turbo outlet pipe. Not whether or not the stock hose will pop off.

It seems only ONE person read or understood the question! He wants a LICP that includes a 2.5" outlet replacement pipe. You will still get a 1.5" portion even with the LICP kits that have a replacement because it needs to mate to the turbo outlet and clear the bolts to mount it. Ultimately, it really isn't worth it because you'll get a few inches of 2.5" diameter piping. No real benefit whatsoever. And yes, the Weapon R piece is junk.

Not to sound like an *** but you just got added to the dummy list. He asked what kits hook up to the STOCK TURBO and remove the STOCK TURBO OUTLET PIPE.

I got ya!! I reread the topic and fully understood now. In this case I am not aware nor I was aware of any kit that actually replaces that hard piping coming from the turbo.

At first I thought he was refering to the black hoses that you use to connect your LICP either to the IC or like the ones that AMS uses on their two pieces LICP. Thanks for the clarification, I often get sidetrack
