Today we got the intercooler piping after the front mount just about done!
Welded more onto the "donkeydick" as we call it lol

Rolled beads onto all the pieces where silicone is used!

Then Test fit everything!

This is the second piece of the piping!

Welded the MAF mount in!

Just about done!!!!!

quick threadjack, im going ot be putting my maf sensor just before the tb with agood amount of straight pipe before it, wheres the best place to put the bov, pre or post intercooler?

 

[1lowtoy]

The best place to mount the BOV is before the intercooler. Its job is to protech the turbo(s). The piping is turning out very nice! Are you planing on running the PMAS HPX meter?

Looks awesome nice welding!!

id put it between the turbo and the intercooler.

id put it between the turbo and the intercooler.

Really hmm I am going to have to work this in now... Cause I have 2.5in running all the way up to the front mount with a little piece of 3in...

 

[JeremyH]

So for a single like im doing it will be easier to get it before the intercooler, although theres not going to be as much piping there, are those pre-welded flange pipes anygood or those silicone couplers that have the small T for a bov good to use?

1badhrse are you going to run two bov's with the twins or just one, and if its just one, wheres the best place to put it so both turbos beneift?

Where u get that maf mount weld-on piece?

 

[1lowtoy]

You can run the BOV right where the two tubes come together or weld the flange onto the intercooler tank itself if you have a twin inlet intercooler.

 

[JeremyH]

I was thinking of running this right down from the turbo and then plumb to the intercooler from there.

[1lowtoy]

The Tial valves come with a flange to weld into your piping. No need to buy that if you are building the rest off the cold side.
