Ok for those of you that stuck to a twin turbo set up I'm after some info on what piping you all have!

I'm going to be fitting a new intercooler in the not too distant future and I'm going to change all my old crusty pipes/hoses at the same time.

Now I'm currently looking at a trust cooler and I know there is a matching piping kit to get for it. What I need to know is what other kit/parts to buy as I want to keep the "Twin turbo" pipe.

To make it clearer I have circled some of the parts I need in this picture. Currently mine are all stock.

Kat,

I just replaced the top hose in your picture with a no-name 45 degree sillicon elbow. Just found one the right inside diameter and trimmed both ends down to size.

The two lower pipes look like HKS? You'd be better off keeping those hard pipes, maybe just replace the sillicon joiners if they are getting old.

Cheers,

John

Sorry Kat, didn't look hard enough.

Same still goes for the smaller top sillicon bend, from memory the HKS kits (4 hard pipes, 8 sillicon joiners + clamps) were around the $700 mark. Got mine from Brissy, can try and find the sellers name if you like, or there's always Nengun or Jessie Streeter.

I didn't replace the larger sillicon pipe on the back turbo intake, but there is probably a universal pipe around that would fit.

Just to clarify, this isn't my engine this is an example with the actual hoses I'm after :cool:

I have the original shitty black one that came on the car!

Yeah if you wouldn't mind letting me know where that'd be awesome.

It's more those black bendy pipes that attach to where my AFM's used to be and the black one next to it.

I've been looking for kits but haven't been able to find the exact type.

HKS hard pipe kit from Brisvegas:

That kit seems to be discontinued on Nengun.

They also make a Premium Suction kit for some of the intake pipes, but don't see a 32 version listed.....

I have an HKS hard piping kit, should have showed you last Sunday! It made the stock airbox fun to fit.

Heaps of my car was/is HKS. Turbos are no longer, the old HKS foam pods killed them! I think the Japanese bloke who used to own it like that brand!

Can you send me a pic?

Oooooh that's nasty! I used to have those old HKS foam pods too but got the Apexi ones on to replace them quick smart.

I'll have to take one. Sure :P .

Yeah the previous owner figured not changing the foam pods for 5 years was a good idea, by the time I got the standard airbox and new K&N filter on it was too late :P .

Thanks!

EXACTLY the same with mine! They were almost totally disintegrated in little peices!

My car never came with a stock airbox and by the time it gets its next mods it will be doing over that making it irrelevant anyway.

Thanks to those that helped, I think I have what I need now. Big thanks JD for setting me straight!

      I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
