Ya I just stuck a bolt in some 5/8 inch hose and hose clamped each end

I actually just bypassed the hose together on mine. What about the down pipe and the IC tubing?

 

[Dirtymaxx03]

i forget to put downpipe in there. i got that covered. and i have a friend helping me fab a reducer so i can use the stock IC hose. im mainly just worried about the plugs

Plug in the valley and plug for the coolant lines.I know I removed a lot when I built my motor but Nick is right about the hose. Works good.

dont forget your revised tuning if you make big changes to your intake setup.

 

[Dirtymaxx03]

im aware of the tuning. im expecting a CEL cause im gonna be running a 5'' intake. that cel shouldnt change performance should it? cause i will have the turbo on about a week before its re-tuned

 

[Jscherbs]

its going to be one laggy bitch

i put a 5 inch intake on mine without retuning and its was less than desirable to drive it to say the least... i would get it retuned asap

 

[Dirtymaxx03]

i planned on trying to get it re-tuned as soon as i can. so recalibrating the maf is a pretty big deal?

if your bored you can remove the water pump or y bridge so that you can weld the turbo return line shut at the source a lot of work though, nobody sees a bolt just sticking in the hose that goes to the factory turbo.

Get a hold of Renomax on here he got me a plug to go where the stock coolant feed lines comes out of the top coolant pipe. Looks alot cleaner. :thumb:
