pieced it together. i used an ebay intake for upper intercooler piping and mandrel bends for the rest, cut, fit, recut, fit, cut again. and some connectors.

 

Got mine from http://www.importparts.com $450 bucks, but it performs well and looks good

It is made by Drag, Revhard also makes Hybrid EF piping

 

im in the middle of this same **** right now

sells mandrel bends and FMIC's

 

I did a xs IC with custom manderal bends .

 

I bought mandrel bends from Jegs (local) and used an old FMIC from a conquest. I had someone weld aluminum pipes on the sides of the intercooler and patch the top holes. After that, I just planned out my path and used the mandrel U pipes as best as I could having as few connections as possible.

Total cost was about $45 for the intercooler. $40 for bends $25 for connectors (I had some laying around).

I have one connection between the intercooler and intake, and 1 connection between the turbo and intercooler. (not including the connections to the intercooler, turbo, and throttle body.

The purchased kits are nice, but you get a lot of satisfaction from doing it yourself I think. I used a greddy turbo, manifold, and DP, and I wish I had made those on my own now too... (next time I will).

 

used a very old Drag Gen 1 kit, and customized it a little, had to make different bends on the turbo side
