DIY intercooler Kits
Has anyone bought one of these Ebay DIY intercooler kits before http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...ZWDVW I was looking into getting one but I dont know if you need to modify the charge tubing. If anyone knows that would be greatly appreciated

you're almost always going to have to modify the piping a little bit to fit because not every set up is the same....it won't be a lot of work on that kit, but you'll need a saw and a tape measure for sure

Re: DIY intercooler Kits (RedEgMan)
Good question, I was planning on buying something similar, could'nt beat the price. I was going to make my own piping, but It would be just as expensive, if not more.

I am putting in the ICP from an Ebay kit right now. Took me a couple hours to fab up the IC to TB side today and I had to cut every piece of piping out about 2-4 inches shorter than it had come. I have a B18C1 in a 89 Hatch. I ended up with 3 couplings from the IC to the TB. If I had it to do all over again, I'd just have bought the IC on Ebay and gone down the road to a metal fab place to get the piping fabbed, or get the pieces at Home Depot and do the work myself (as I am doing now) That's my .02!

Get it. They are great. I ordered mine, 2.5" piping, with couplers and clamps. They advertised some shitty clamps but shipped T-Bolt clamps. Only thing you will need is the piping modified for your BOV.
