I'd definitely keep them around and look into grinding a couple sets, for possible increased performance. Its an excellent mod used all the time on inline pumps.

I am looking at getting this kit for my inter cooler piping.. Is this the normal standard for inter cooler piping? Any configuration should be achievable with the bends provided in this kit?

More than likely will be doing a front mount, I will have to possibly find a way to move my radiator backwards and towards the passenger side a bit to get some room on the driver side for the pip to pass through.

Nothing at all happening. Gotta get my down pipe sorted. NO welder is making it hard.. I have been driving it for short trips around town. But the exhaust points straight at the firewall, and fills the cabin with exhaust. So I cannot be giving it too much pedal anyway.

However, after removing the cold start mechanism all together and putting the flat plat there it allowed me to back the idle down even further.. and thus turn the fuel screw in some more. I am still out a few turns from stock on the fuel screw, so there is PLENTY of fuel left in this pump. Once I get the exhaust sorted, I'll start laying down some power.

I spoke with many and they said for the air needed in our engines, especailly if you have a smaller turbo for dialy driving, the piping should be no more than 2". Other than that info that I can't tell what size it is, the kit looks fine.

being that the intake hole is 2"... pipeing 3" into a 2" hole  is stupid.. so i stuck with 2" on my toaster... no issues at all..

you need to invest in a welder... a cheap mig with fluxcore wire will do lots for you.. may not be best.. but better then nothing...

GAH, I thought the 2" kits existed on Ebay.. but in reality the smallest good kit I can find is 2.5"

Ah, that is nice. Is this what you would use? I like that it has a variety of pieces, seems it would make life easier.

I like that one.

Funds are tight at the moment, so Ill have to wait a week or two to get that kit. And a welder maybe the next week.. LOL. They need to bring that full on kit back to Canadian tire.. so I can use my master card and make payments for 12 months no interest.

The kit libby linked to is the exact piping I bought and have 0 issues with...other than a car that isn't moving right now. I did get the huge intercooler they sell as well. Want to say it was 28x7x2.5. The ID of the 2.5" inlet is 2" so all worked well except I asked them to put 2  90 degree 2" to 2.5" silicone couplers in it so it would all work. The only other thing I had to get was from silicone intakes and that was an adaptor to go into the intake. I highly recommend silicone intakes stuff.
