Re:Intercooler
ah yes, the intercooler pipings... those SOB's were a bitch because if u dont measure correctly its a pain in the *** to put the bumper back on. I'm still going to redo mine and figure out why my fucken car hit boost until 4k and full boost until 7.5k-- I think its my stock exhaust, but shiet What do I know....
One question relating to intercooler, how much of a PSI drop should one expect to see--before the intercooler and after the intercooler?

Re:Intercooler
Do it right the first time man, get the hard pipes installed.. Mild steel is cheap. Got a welder? Goto town. If you don't have a welder, you could mock the ---- up with pvc and take your mock up to the exhaust shop and have them create what you're after. I would only trust that hose for coupling the ---- together, remember it will expand and bend and ---- if you're using it all by itself.
Good luck.

Look around at the IC manufactures websites, they normally give you a test reading about what the expectancy is.. I would say an average of 1-2 psi.. you can always get the ---- flow checked at a machine shop to see. This really depends on size and condition, a variable question ya see.
