looks good, but I hope that silicone hose right out of the turbo doesnt go boom! using silicone to make bends like that seems to be a big problem.

It's weird how you went from the TB to the right side of the FMIC, then from the Turbo to the other side, long charge pipes. Looks different, but neverhteless, looks good. A lot of chrome too. good job

I´ll try to explain ( bad english) The charge pipes are displayed like this because there wasnt other way to place the IC (Its from a Iveco comercial truck) and we didnt want to spend more € so the finish look became like this..but it works ok..i think
I have to turbo edit it now to get some real results :P

I have noticed that people who use silicone hose, use it to connect charge pipes, not to use it make bends. especially right out of the turbo! I personally cant speak for it but from what everyone else has said....

Just thought I would put my $.02 in.
other than that, it looks good. alot of chrome, but it looks nice.

I agree on the charge pipes. Doesn't look all to efficient. Nice n shiney tho.

What'd you do to the D16A9 to keep it from blowing? You know the a9 bottom end is as strong as a wet paper towel.
