Well folks, in a few weeks a custom fabricator that does alot of great work in my area, is going to be installing aluminum charge pipes, turbo inlet(CAI), TurboXS Type H-RFL BOV.
He's an expert TIG welder, and is going to make a jig, so he can make more.
Basically, hes using my car as the guniea pig, and will be offering the charge pipes and inlet for sale. Based on your demand, he can also install a flange for BOV, or set it up to use the stock BPV.
Also he is welding on brackets and things so everything will retain a stock replacement feel.
I will have more info and pics, and pricing as i get them.
Piping is going to be mandrel bent, tig welded aluminum.
2.5 in for the charge pipes, and 3 in for the turbo inlet.
Sillicon hose and clamps will be included.

I'm just gauging interest in this project, and to see if anyone would wanna purchase hard pipes.
I will keep everyone updated with pics and then pricing info. :)

Billy Roberts is the guys name
I wont have a firm price until he makes mine, and figures up cost of matierials, and labor.
He ordered the bends for my car yesterday, and wont have time to work on them until next week. I may know more then.
I will keep you all posted.

Im going to get an HKS SSQV BOV instead of the Turbo XS. I just like the sound of the HKS more, and the sequential design prevents compressor surge.
Im going to be calling the guy Tommorow. Anyone have any questions for me? Pricing wont know that for a while, so anything other than price, and i can ask him. How Much interest is there?
