Thanks for all the input you have provided in the thread Andy.


Yes definately with the stock bumper off it will help and also if you have access to a lift it makes things pretty easy as well.

The best way to do the stock lower IC pipe is to remove the started. Its only 2 bolts and free's up quite a bit of space to work with on doing the lower pipe install.

 

OH i see now, i didn't get that piece witht he flange on it? was i suppsoed to? i just got the LICP pipe that connects to the intercooler is there two pipes? i have nothing with a flange welded on it? Jarrod?? was this something i was supposed to get? or is this a different piece?

 

The new intercoolers/downpipes might be different man I really dont know.

My IC has a pipe welded to it that connects to the pipe that is flanged on the turbo.

 

here's what i got for the LICP: this is exactly what i was supposed to get,:

what exactly is that flanged called, and i haven't even seen it before

 

That must be how the new style IC's and IC Pipes are.

You don't need to worry about the flanged part.. sounds like it utilizes the stock piece. I'm not sure of the exact name but it's what your reducer is connected to.. should be a black pipe.

 

yeah it goes to a black pipe, ok i'm good thanks

 

Wait that's with the stock intake pipe.. that's exactly how mine was before

 

Ok here is a pic of how I HOPE I can get my APS BOV hooked up at. I should have my recirc hose tomorrow.. thats all I need to drive this thing I'm really not sure if I'll be able to get it hooked up like this without putting to much stress/bend on the recirc pipe If it's possible I will make it work.

If I put the BOV on the upper IC pipe using a small straight hose it would work fine I'm sure.. but it gets in the way of the stock intake snorkle.. not to mention it will look like crap.



BTW I have a heatshield for the ex mani.. I just like staring at the manifold when I work on the car
