Yeah and i'd probably buy it lol I duno if you have welding capabilities? I can pretty much set you up with all the bends you need and all you'd have to do is do it. I can test fit it also And if people want intercoolers with it, just set it up with a ebay intercooler, simple enough.

This is the cold side of my charge pipes (notice lowport intake). This is an extremely rare way to run the charge pipes (maybe even a first?) and I'm extremely happy with the way it turned out. Actually, I've been sort of keeping this under wraps. I tend to think this method will catch on once I post it, but whatever. I'm posting this so you have an idea of the height that I had to deal with. I had to have my intake pipe go under this charge pipe yet managed to get it over the relay box you see in the picture.

This shows the radiator hose I was talking about very well. Right now it's in the stock location (I think). You can see how it's meant to avoid the radiator fan. If you flip it around, you open up possibilities.

And the pipe on the right is what I had to make. As you could see already, I don't have a battery to contend with. This places the air filter at the battery location basically. You should be able to place the filter behind it, or somewhere else using typical bends without issue I feel. The longer straight section mounts to the turbo side. The filter attaches immediately after the second 90 degree bend.

^^ Why not just make two kits ... one for high and one for low ports. The low port one would have to go under the intercooler pipe and the high port would have to go over.

Exhaust bends are a big no no here. We like Al

If you want do mark the pipes Ill have them welded up and shipped back. If it works then we have a kit. If we get at least 5 then your welds are free. What setups will this kit work with??

I love showing my welders work!

Fine with me. What ever it takes.
I'm thinking you could get this done with two 90 degree bends or a 90 degree and 45 degree bend, no problem.

I would be interested in a 3" version of what I have now. This is the Hotshot pipe.

^^ One like that in 2.5" would be pretty cool too.

Yeah 3" with the kits, then yoiu can sell the 3" by it's self. Any news on weather your gonna do this, I'm getting ready to redo my piping.

Yeah we are still looking into this, it is a little difficult without a turbo car. I can get the idea of my DE.

I'm sure theres someone near you with a det lol if not send me the pipe I said and i'll mock it up only thing is you need to make a custom outlet off the turbo or use atp adapter with a 90* coupler
