Do you happen to have a picture with the front bumper on? That's a starion FMIC I assume?

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?
I had the stock locations capped and added new ones. I spent $75...some welders wanted 150-200.

I picked up my 14b for $125 off of dsmtrader.com and intercooler for $75 off of recycler.com.

The 14b pulls great

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.
