WBGH Ill have pictures once mine is done. But none that are good yet - also, my test fitting isn't done. I'm getting by without an s-shaped pipe, but am ordering different couplers - mainly because I want black and secondly cuz I need an extra and a 45 degree.

I have seen pictures of the piping coming from the headunit going into the intercooler. It's just the bends needed to route it up to the TB.

I cut a hole for mine which made it way easier. Tuner told me he had never seen such a smooth reading from the MAF. I used a cxracing kit.



Here is what the pipe looked like

That gives me a better idea of what I need to do for the piping. I don't know if I'd cut a hole like you did. I'm guessing I'd just need a few 90* elbows. To get it through there. I like the little piece you had welded up to fit into the TB.

Anyone else have pictures of their CXRacing kit?

Ox- with that bumper support how did you mount your IC? And have any links to those supports?

2 L brackets up top attached to the header panel and 2 L brackest on the bottom attached to the radiator support.



With a procharger kit I just used the brackets that came with it and mounted it as per the instructions.


PM me if you want a support. My buddy and I make and sell them.

Ox, I found someone else who cut a hole like you did. It actually looks like a great idea. I like how you get a good straight flow going into the MAF. I'm think I'm going to do that same setup. That will give me the best MAF readings. Just have to make sure my air filter doesn't get in the way.

Also, you said you bought the CXRacing kit. Did it come with all the tubing needed to run it the way you did?
