I agree.

BTW that site with the bends has a lot of great stuff and good prices. Thanks!

 

yup...that's where I biught my hallman boost controller a few months back.....

I just ordered a TurboXS Boost Control Solenoid though....I'm going to try using the UTEC as an electronic Boost controller.

 

Let me know how that goes.

 

What parts did you use to do the Driver's side filter? Was it just one bend (90 or 45?) and coupler/clamps? It's hard to get an idea of how long those bends are. I am going to have to do what you did to fit the AEM filter. I can't go out the front like the TN did because the A/C lines are in the way.

I'll posted this in my thread and yours to be sure you see it.

 

you can bend the a/c lines out of the way...that's what I did.

On the driver's side, I used a section of pipe from the gredy kit. If you saved your old piping, you'll have a "y" pipe that was used if you didn't have an intercooler. I cut a short section off of it right after the bend. It was the section of pipe that would have gone to the MAF in a regular greddy kit (non intercooler.) I would say that it is about a 45* bend.

 

Hey could you take a quick picture of the back part of your engine bay near the regulator and left side. I am trying to see if I still need a part for my fuel return install.

Also does the gauge go on the other side of the regulator? If so why didn't you put it on?

 

what do you need a pic of? the piece with the 2 stainless braided lines going into it is a 2-port vaccum manifold I made that is hooked up to my wastegates. I like running braided stainless lines to the wastegates so that there is no issue of melting a vaccum line. Since the wastegate lines are so critical, I decided to convert the wastegates to -4AN fittings and make this mini manifold to feed them!!!

also, the gauge would normally go right onto the the front of the regulator, but I have a fuel pressure sensor sending unit screwed into the front 1/8" NPT port, instead of the supplied mini mechanical gauge.

 

I think I got it all figured out so I don't need any pics.

The only problem left is the spot where you splice the oem hard pipe leaks and I can't get it to stop. That kit was such a PITA to install.

 

I ended up with a a fuel leak too where I attached the fitting to the hard pipe........the leak happend after I installed the greddy. I must have move the fitting around and loosened the conection.

I thought I needed a new fitting, and paid to have charles overnight a new fitting to me, but..................

in the mean time, I decided to give it one more try.......

YOU need to really crank on it!!!! and I mean with all your strength!!! I was able t get maybe another half turn on it past where I thought I couldn't tighten it any more..BINGO!!! no more leaks. I guess it takes alot of pressure to squich that ferrule down onto the hard pipe!

Make sure you find thelongest wrenches you can, it'll give you more mechanical advantage so you can get more torque on the fitting.

 

Good to know. Mine came off so the sleeve is now trash and I need a new one. But when it goes on tomorrow I will make sure and give it everything I have.

 

Quadcam whats the length of those intercoolers intank to intank. I'm working on trying to get a dual intercooler setup and i am thinking that i can not get away with anything bigger then 20inch if im going to do a Dual setup like this..

 

FIXED.

I am not sure on the length of each IC...inlcuding the endtanks. They could be longer to fill out the holes in the bumper better, but then you'd run into some fitment issues. As it is, I can use the stock washer fluid tank!

 

Sure, rub it in...


My IC's still bigger!

 

watching all of this and reading it all ..

leaves me with a sense of emptyness .. lol

i want to be turbo'ed too ..

one day ..

and great job quad its beautiful just as much as ttrank's ...

 

Looking at this everyday gives me a sense of emptyness
