Col: the coolers are cheap, but the piping is the exxy bit.

I can't find any cheap sources of piping kits around. Cheapest seems to be around $500 or so for the whole piping kit.

I've got one of the hybrid copies sitting around, its decent enough quality.

seems stupid that you're paying more for the actual "attachment kit" than the item you are attaching itself, if you know what I am saying.

That is why I believe nexus still hasn't fitted his cooler that he has had, for oh, 12 months? :(

hmm usually if you recieve a msg it would pop up on the screen but it isnt, and its not in my multimedia inbox. Bah phones

I sent it with some text and a wav file, so might have been too much for your phone all at the same time

It's true, plus don't rule out my extreme laziness

sucks that a few metal pipes cost more than the cooler. $700.00 is the cheapest for the pipes and fitting that I have found

you can do the back-around b.s. with the coolers.. back to your standard intercooler pipe positioning in the engine bay.. I might try that on one of the cars - but bit of stuffing around... got to track down mandrel bends.. etc.

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
