Q about Charge pipes
 
So, my charge pipe is touching my friggin downpipe (pre-intercooler, obviously.) Is that cool or should i reweld my DP?

Fix that ----. The hotter the air is, the less power/more chances of detonation you will have. You might as well not even have an intercooler. :-\

redo the charge pipe to where? I've got an A/C integra, so space is HELLUH limited....Only place left really is to run it over the runners, because in the front i've got a fatty TiAL....unless you guys can figure out some crazy macguyver ---- for me?
