some good lookin set ups.. so where is the other place you can run the ISC hose too? im tired or looking at mine going across the motor... any ideas?
well you have to have it close after the AFM, and you cant just put a little filter on it because that will be un-metered air coming in and give you some problems. so you will have to go over or around the motor in some way

I like the way it looks going over the motor personally, but thats me I suppose.

Anyway though, what I've been thinking of doing is just getting some polished type ic piping and keeping the 3000 pipe, maybe paint the letters in "3000" blue too, I though that might be a nice little touch.

I've got a filter on mine and it runs fine. Speed density though:biglaugh:

Here is my current setup. (It is much like I did last time around, only slightly changed for the new turbo, and going to the Translator Pro/Speed Density setup.)

Pipes are just Mandrel bends, cut and welded, smoothed and then powdercoated candy apple red in this case. (With clear coat.)

Matches the engine underneath it all right? LOL

could be electric... get this.. my car is at the shop for the BHG job most people know.. and i went in today to talk to them cause we'v gone threw 2 heads now none of them any good,, so looking for another one.. BUT the mechanic said when they took the head off the car there were NO i repeat NO studs along the bottom of the intake manifold to hold it on.... aka masive boost leakage there.. so my car will deffinitly drive ALOT stronger than it ever has..:) so theres good news... hehe

There are bolts for the bottom of the intake mani, not studs. There is 1 stud on the very left closest to the alternator, two where the EGR valve is and two inbetween the runners.:)
