Hey guys,

I picked up my intercooler and piping yesterday. My intercooler is a custom job, its 2 top mount intercoolers welded together. I got the intercooler, piping and exhaust manifold (not shown) all for $500 (aus).



The pipework was already polished, but the intercooler wasn't. I'm gonna have an arm like the hulk by the time its shiny. (I might cheat and just polish the front)

Hows the size of the off-pipe for the BOV.

You can see where I've polished a bit of the core where the dent is.

Better than PVC piping.

Shiny, plus with a sticker.

When you stick the 13bt into the first gen, the turbo cooks the steering box unless you get a custom-made exhaust manifold to take it further away. Might be a RHD + J-spec engine problem only.

Dipping an IC in chrome will make it significantly less

efficient.



Just Polish it.
