Can anyone confirm the intercooler and charge pipe piping?


this is what i assume it should be?

the intercooler exit 3" == 3" 90 degree coupler == 3" pipe == straight coupler == 3 inch charge pipe with MAFs going into throttle body



but what i received is

the intercooler exit 3" == 3" 90 degree coupler == 2.5" pipe == 2.5 to 3" coupler == 3 inch charge pipe with MAFs going into throttle body

is the 90 degree couplers wrong for the intercooler ?? is the 2.5" pipe suppose to be a 3" ??

Yes they seem to be shipped with the wrong couplings ..mine was wrong ..friend of mine got the wrong ones as well..Sasha will send new ones to fit pretty fast

Thanks .. ur right sasha confirms that the coupler i got is wrong.. it should be 3” to 2.5”

Shipping out today, sorry about that.

Tracking number received thanks Sasha! Great response as always

Damn. Need to go through my kit now. So it's just a simple 90 degree bend, 3" to 2.5"?

Yes

Intercooler 3” == 90 dgree 3” to 2.5” coupler == 2.5” pipe == 2.5” to 3” coupler == 3” charge pipe with MAFs


1st start :happydance:

this is my understanding on how to run the vacuum lines

- BOV: Intake Manifold (tap) to BOV

- BOOST GAUGE: T'ed of the back of Intake manifold existing vacuum line

- BOOST SOLENOID: Driver side charge pipe before throttle to solenoid then to T to bottom ports of the wastegates

- WASTEGATE: Driver side charge pipe before throttle to T then top ports of the wastegates



i will be running ECU boost control and ill be using Haltech (MAC) boost solenoid


can anyone chime in if the above is correct?

Follow the plumbing in the link below:

Instead of the turbo pressure source, use the nipple on the driver side charge pipe, just before the TB.

And for the love of all boost , please make sure you keep the vac lines away from the turbo manifold. It makes for a good story but more like a nightmare for the guy telling it.

Guys is this normal !!??

its not fluid its like dust or carbon buildup.. i placed a tissue paper on the tailpipe this morning and it is still spitting out this stuff

Haha, yup! :rofl2:

:iagree:

Pretty much. That’s what happens when you don’t run cats.
