my intercooler piping came in today. i actually bought two builders kits. I ordered a lot because i needed extra metal to practice on before the final thing is put together. 2.5 inch aluminum piping. I actually got these from EBay from a business called CXRacing. Went on their website and they seem to have lots experience with fabrication(mainly turbo drift cars). And they run what they built, which gets a big thumbs up from me. Their pipes have a enlarge rings their ends which won't blow off under boost. Comes with enough couplers and hose clamps. i will be replacing the hoses because blue is not part of my color scheme. Black HPS couplers are on the way.
I don't want to pay cheap for crap products and i don't mind paying premium for great products but when a good products comes out for a fair price, buy two of them.
My BMC Racing Products F20C HRS Premium header flange is here. Look the the design of this flange. One side port matched(oval shaped) to the head and the other side it matched to the pipe(circle shaped). This thing is CNC machined so everything is very well done. Thumbs up for a great flange. I work in the water/piping/hydraulic world and i can somewhat translate how water moves through a pipe to how air moves through a pipe. Other people will say this is not necessary but i personally do think so, the smoother the transitions the better. Plus, this is my build so i can do what ever i want.
head side
pipe side
the head side where the flange mounts up is milled down certain areas to help prevent heat from header going back to the head.
If you haven't guested, this build takes into account all the little things.
