i'm using the same turbo... hey would a big radiator hose probably 2 - 2.25 inch piping work from the turbo to the intercooler fine? the turbo outlet is like right by the crossmember.. so how did you do that without crimping the air in the radiator hose, or i should say what did you use to make a 90 degree bend from there?

Nice work. There's nothing like the feeling when you finish your first HMT turbo setup. :)

FMU's get alot of flak, but the ---- works.

Hell yeah, It feels awesome, and now I'm the ---- cause i did it myself not like some other fucks that paid $4grand for it. The radiator hose was cut to fit, I went to the parts store and asked to go to the back room then I picked a couple of hoses and cut the 90s I wanted to use and then used a small pices of pipe to clamped them together. So it goes back with a 90, then up with a 90, then I have a U to go to the turbo. I'll take more pic's.

I put on the bumper and took it out for a spin, Now I have no downpipe on, it's just the little stock o2 housing, ran great, Still 5psi, but feels great, but now I see how bad I need new brakes, ---- the car feels like it's going to break an axle when I break, must be bad rotors or something, but will get fixed this weekend.
Thanks for all you comments
