buy a nut, drill it out, and tap it to NPT. drill a hole in the bottom of the IC pipe as close to the compressor housing as possible. weld nut to hole, and thread in a NPT nipple than can be bought at any autoparts store. i put mine on the bottom of the pipe, so you can't see the ugly brass nipple.

Davipoo,
Where'd you get the elbow that connects the turbo to the intercooler?
Also, I get my aluminum welding done for $10 a weld....$100 is a$$RAPING.

I got the elbow from Ihor at Gotham Racing.

rather than order a special nipple, you can do it yourself dave.

There are a few places online you can get tight radius aluminum elbows to weld to the compressor housing.. I think I may go this route in the near future.. More stuff to polish! I'll dig up some links and post them.
