Default intercooler piping

more searching leads me to wonder what IC piping to use...


found this, its from "just intercoolers"

how much do you think that can hold? and has anyone used it before?

lol i think you are going to blow some couplers at 25 pounds tom !!!! you ever hear of a WELDER ?? also the fact that it has flared egde's doesn't matter becouse your going to have to cut the pipes and then only one side will be flared :1 i dont believe you built something that can handle 25 pounds and don't even know what to do for ic piping you sound like a noob try'n to be cool

wait who the hell is tom? my names matt hah if your talking to me.... but im going to run a max of like 20 pounds, i can get the stuff welded would it make more sense to just buy some type of 2.5inch pipe weld it together? see thats why i wanted to buy the diy kit, cause it comes with the bends and stuff... but what about like where it clamps off of the turbo, cant weld there(guess you could with a metal reducer) and for the IC, and TB...

(just-intercoolers/cx racing)
There awesome quality believe it or not and they ship fast as ----.
I have purchased 2 of there intercoolers and a aluminum half core radiator for myself. They work great as far as I know. Pressure tested fine and drop IAT pretty good.
3 of my friends all have Just-intercoolers, intercoolers on their cars and have no complaints.
My rustang buddy ordered there 3 inch pipe kit and they mix and match the bends you want which is a better deal because you not getting useless bends.
The piping was thick and I was kinds surprised.

thanks,

matt
