yes i will be watching. anyway to make a bigger cold side tube , the one that comes out of the intercooler into the funky plastic tube. i was looking into getting the plastic tube from pelican parts and butchering it and making my own pipe but i havent yet. or can a whole new tube be made? it would be nice but i know it would be a ton of fab work. also will the tubes be powdercoated inside and out? thank you sir and please keep going the stuff your making is stuff we need.
I made a larger size pipe for the cold side. Not only do you get more boost from going from rubber to metal but the larger diameter on the cold side gives you better flow. The stock plastic piece was like 2" yet the throttle byd was 2.75"!

the bottle neck there would also be the odd shaped hard tube... but that would be hard to replace.

Zach buddy, I dont have the silicons yet. Honestly i have not really pushed my guy into getting it to me. My shop is limited in size so when i prototype stuff etc it puts me back on my orders. :( Ill be moving into a much bigger place this year so i cant wait. Anyways i will be making this step for you guys!
