how's the performance of the 14b? I got a T-25 for cheap ($85) but I was really lookig for a 14b or cheap 16g. Where from and how much did you get your starion i/c for?

How much did it cost to get the endtank pipes on the side instead of the top? Did you just get whole new endtanks or did you modify the stock ones?

Re: Pics of my DIY Turbo (turboorangecx)
What did you do for the downpipe? Im currently building a kit and I was wondering how hard it was to make the downpipe, I've heard that it can be a pain. At first I wanted to use a t3 with a revhard/drag manifold so I can keep the a/c but I heard with that turbo the exaust downpipe configuration aims it toward the block or radiator. So now I'm thinking to just ditch my a/c and use the 14b/hf manifold setup, seems like it would be less of a headache this way. What(if any) difficulties did you have with building this kit and installing it?
Btw: can you list which pipes you ordered from jc whitney since I'll be ordering mine soon? I'd REALLY appreciate that

awesome kit, the design of the the endtanks arent the best and would flow better if you mounted the new openings near the stock one... but other than that, awesome setup.

Constructive critisism: those are TERRIBLE end tank designs to use for a side fed cooler... I know you simply cut off the original piping and relocated it.. but to be honest, the flow with the current setup is far from efficient.

j/k i think though the rods DO need to be modded to fit. I think the wrist pins don't fit on the rods... some crap i forget now
