the cheapest charge pipes ever

well the pvc pipe decided it didnt wanna work very well....so i tried this. so far its been holding up...consists of cut up short ram....old crx si intake piping thats been cut and modified to reverse the bends...and my old crx hf intake piping...which i might add is the same size as the turbo charge elbow!

even though its ghetto, it does not look ghetto. hope it dont fail under boost, you probably can only 4 psi on that though. :o

well my boost guage is teed off the fpr line...its showing a whole 7psi! ;D yeah theres electrical tape everywhere on it....i went through 1 whole roll of that stuff.....hell if it holds i may just keep it like that till i get an IC...but i will mount my bov when it gets here.

ok then...two days of boost...theres a reason people dont use electrical tape on charge pipes, but i must say you did a fine job of it

haha, yeah of course it'll last more than 2days if it isnt actually doing anything!!!

nice work though! I like everything but the tape,
i'm sure you could have found something equally cheap but stronger to hold it together
