Yeah but that would ruin the cheap *** look lol. How well do you guys think pvc piping will work, as it is just an idea I came up with at lunch today.

PVC piping melts around 150*

You seriously want that in your engine bay?

noooo on the PVC. Find a piping kit on eBay with t-bolts and an intercooler and you'll be set. Get ready for some cutting though, it's almost always gonna be custom.

I'll just do what my friend did, and go to a local exhaust shop. I can get all of my piping custom bent for my application, and its cheap too. I think it cost him about $60-$70 plus the couplers. If I go that route I'll have some nice metal piping.

^^^^^+1
I workd 75 hr weeks to pay for it. And now i have a 800$ credit card bill, 600$ insuarnce bill, and rent to pay....with 400$ to my name. Do the math....being in college sucks

ou think money is tight? Try being a college student buying a second car and managing a turbo project... I'm actually going to have to store my mustang for a year or so because I can't afford insurance on two cars while at school.





^^^^^ thus the reason why my turbo build never got off its feet. lol. I still got t28, intercooler, Turbo mani and abunch of other misc turbo items just sitting in my shed collecting dust. i worked 4 jobs over the summer to try to come out on top with some money, but then both axles, altenator, and timeing belt all were replaced over the summer, including gettign a new trunk cuz someone took a crowbar to mine. so i came out with about a lil over grand wich is a third of what i intended for. so the college thing does suck, props to you for the build! keep us posted.

So my camera is ****in up. Its shutter won't open all the way, and I,ve been trying to fix it. I think I got it, but I'll have to wait for the epoxy to set lol. I'll try to get pics of my crap up tomorrow.

And I ordered a 1g dsm bov today. I'm getting closer and closer to having everything.
