All the stock tubing and the metl tubing for the intercooler. I got 6 2 inch couplers as well along with a 2 inch 90degree elbow but I will be using that piece. I am going to look and see if I can use any of the old tubing.

i had to do some cutting to the pipes to make them fit well with the right angles, and don't be afraid to put a little bend in the hose clamps.

I had to trim the pipes a little as well as some of the fiberglass resin front clip area.

You'll get it just keep working with it!

Ok, well I got it together... sort of...

I had to getto rig the passenger side together and it works BUT one of the hoses keeps popping off if I build up more than 10 PSI for very long. I am going to try and see if I can take the whole thing out and keep the shape to have the whole thing bent in one piece of pipe. OR I am thinking about trying and finding the intercooler piping stuff that the DIY said to use. I tried finding it before and couldn't. There is also some type of boost leak because when I was building up (before I popped the hose) I was only hitting 16 PSI. Oh and I havent even tried to put the bumper back on yet. I still need to do the trimming and everything.

Now for some more pictures:








The hose on the far left is the one that keeps coming off.

OH and that lift is AMAZING!!!! It made it so much easier to work on and it's in a heated garage!!!
