DONT go to ASE

I went there with my cooler and they quoted me ELEVEN HUNDRED to supply and fit pipes

my costs were $200 to do it myself

Boostwerkx could help you out (they arranged the lipping for me)

yeah I wouldn't say they're the cheapest in town but they did get mine sorted out properly

with my custom intercooler piping i made up a template out of $20 poly pipe and fitting from bunnings and then took it to AAA and it cost $140 for them to supply and bend it up out of 2 inch stainless so for 2.5 inch that you are looking at it'll cost less than $200. Make sure that you use the size poly pipe that you intercooler piping is going to be as it makes it easier for them to get the angles right, and also make sure you deal with the bloke that owns the place and not the bloke with the British accent. Every time he has touched anything on my car he has stuffed it, like a week ago i took in one of the pipes to get a mandrel bend put in it to make it fit my new turbo. He said yep he can do it went and put it in the press bender and before i could say anything put a press bend in my piping. He then claimed that it wouldn't flow less than a mandrel bend and it would be fine, which isn't the point.

So yes they are great but make sure you get the right person serving you.

I suggest you sell the GTR core and buy yourself an ISC kit or even a Greddy kit mate.....saves the hassle....i was looking at getting a GTR intercooler but then decided to get a Greddy one and couldnt be happier mate....all fits nicely and does a wicked job of cooling....you can either spray that black or leave it as it is.....either way it will do the job and i have not heard of anyone getting done for a fmic....touch wood

hahah i got done for front mount gtr cooler!! told me was a direct defect! bullshite

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
