Due to this whole engine/intercooler kind of being shoehorned into the kaa, I have a mild kink prior to my throtttle body, do any of you forsee this becoming an issue in the future?

I notice no performance loss, to be honest the car feels fast as hell since I swapped the stock intake in(!). But I am concerned about this connection being comprimised in the future.

Stock turbo running 16psi.

 

besides gettin a hi temp silicone hose and some tbolts...i doubt theyre be a problem

 

that appears to be a good silicone coupling

yeah, grab some t-bolts or constant pressure ones...and you'll be fine till you can upgrade to a FMIC

FMIC would be destroyed with the type of driving I do


Lovin the STi one.

 

how would it destroy it? by making more power and loosing...maybe 300ish rpm in spool if you run too large a core or piping?
