Hey Guys,

I'm looking at getting all of my intake piping either made up or buying a kit depending on recommendations and others experiences. Currently my intercooler piping goes through the stock holes near the POD filter. I wanted to change this so I can make a custom intake box. I'd also like to get a hard piped CAI but not sure where to get one from or if anyone knows where I should go to get one made up. If anyone has any idea's or tips regarding this I'd appreciate it. I've checked Ebay but I'm not really interested in cheap "clip together" pipes that are for sale.

Located in Southern Adelaide.

Piping is for S2 RS4

Cheers,

James.

Also, AM Performance were going to do one for me. Give Andrew a call, 0401865373.

His workshop is at Greenwith, so not South, but worth travelling for.

Cheers for the tip Ryan, I'll be sure to get a quote from him.

Obviously I'd like to travel as close as possible due to work every day.. But if it's worth the trip I'm sure I can organize something.

Does he also do Silicone hosing and fixtures, etc.. I'm looking at Updating my Engine Bay if possible, but haven't been able to find decent workshops anywhere.. It's always a case of either trying to rip me off or just do dodgy work...

Cheers for the help!

I can vouch for Andrew's work, top notch stuff.

He mainly does performance mods and fabrication, primarily exhausts and dump pipes, so I'm sure the fixtures are fine. Not sure about the silicone hosing but won't hurt to ask!

Tell him Ryan with the M35 sent you.

honestly mate, for all the stuff your looking at doing you'd be better off just converting it all back to stock. the factory airbox is not a restriction and it comes with its own CAI. plus it wont cost anything if u still have the bits. :thumbsup: ive got no idea where the rumor that pods give u more power came from but it just isnt true. try them out back to back (stock VS pod) next time ur on the dyno.

Yeah man I understand from a power point of view, but I'm not looking at doing the piping for any power gains, I'm doing it to tidy up my engine bay. The stock stuff is fine but if I wanted a car to keep stock then I would have bought something else.

Cheers for the advice though.:thumbsup:

Lol was there today. That's usually where I park if I drive in, but I only drive in once every 2-3 months, when I have heaps of stuff to carry in. Too expensive to drive in and park every day.

Yeah man my wallet is usually pretty light after parking there but unfortunately for me, I'm a creature of convenience. And starting work at 4:50am means no buses.. :glare:

    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
