I am lucky my wife gives me free range. If the bills are paid I kill whatever I want.

hey i looked at enjuku racing's hot pipe.uhhh i think i might have run the pipe wrong i got going from the throttle body to the top of the i/c and i needed piping from the turbo to the bottom of the i/c.it seemed that it was supposed to go that way b/c the stock piping.was that for a front mount?its the 89.99 one
#39
dood lol... ok the HOT PIPE from enjuku goes from turbo to the top of your STOCK SIDE MOUNT INTERCOOLER...
now if you have a front mount it will go down to the bottom of the sheet metal of your engine bay...AKA where your SMIC used to be connected to it... and then you have custom pipes from the hot pipe to the end tank of the intercooler...
wtf wtf wtf why is this so complicated?? obviously if the pipe is too short it doesnt belong there.. vice versa?? are you gong to use a 2 inch piece on the throttle body that is 60mm's??? come on guys these dont even need to be on the WWW. the time you spent posting this crap you could hacve just popped your hood and fiddle faddled and gottten everything squared away... have a nice day

well id like to say i didnt go w/ the "pvc", i found a place in town that sold mandrel bent aluminum 2 inch pipe and ......well the straight pipe as well.and i got in contact w/ a machinist that also welds aluminum so my i/c piping is on its way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

if anyybody wants it, I have a stock WRX intercooler with 3800 miles on it.
pretty good sized and pretty low pressure drop. you could take the end pices off(or make some new piping to keep them around) and make it into a handy front mount. or even use the piping thats on it right now and make a top mount.
if anybody wants it just shoot me an email. it's just one of those random parts you pick up over time, that you are not sure why you have.
got it's good to be able to weld and have freinds at a machine shop. I know when it comes time to get my car assembled that it's gonna be a godsend that I am handy with a MIG and getting a TIG for christmas(woot!)

You do realize that the main reason your made the extra power was because you were boosting 4 more lbs don't you? Run the car again at 10lbs with the FMIC, which is what you had the SMIC at. I doubt the HP increase will be as dramatic.
