What parts are you needing Eric?
I bought most of stuff here. http://www.racepartsolutions.com/index.asp
Nick(paint) gave me a link for 4 ply silicone hoses today look up burns steel
I used 3 ply and that is the norm (GM ) vibrant performance

Thanks guys, John I need the transistion hose? that goes from the turbo compressor housing to the intercooler boot. Not sure which size though.
What about if you are running say a GT42 and the compressor side uses a clamp style on the discharge?
You just go out to the CNC lathe and turn one!
Oh wait nevermind.:rofl:
Nah I will just turn one by hand on a lathe, who needs computers
If your using the stock IC tube it is 2.5". I dont know what the disharge of your turbo is. I would guess 3"

Engine lathe would work just fine.
I only made my own because I want it to reduce to 3". The ATP one Never Sat' posted is 3.5" PPE's is 2.5". I wanted to go to 3" IC tubes. I could have used the ATP one with a 3.5" to 3.0" reducer. But I wanted to use all straight silicone to keep things simple. So I made my own. All the silicone is standard 3" straight but the intercooler to tubes boots. Just less stuff I to carry to the pulls.

either plug or weld the hole shut on the coolant pipe and tap it further upstream if you plug it its a 30mm x 1.5
if your bypassing the coolant, you can cut the hose just long enough to get a bolt in there and clamp it.
If thats what your asking?

Were are you guys finding the plugs for the radiator hose? Fastnal and other places can't find anything big enough thats metric. I would really like to get some sort of plug to make more room for the intake
I tried to find one Eric and the only place I could get one was from Simon and I couldnt wait on the shipping so I just welded mine shut
