Check in the B/S/T forum. I'm sure you can find some SR intercooler piping up for sale in there. Congrats and good luck!

Excellent choice on an engine. As far as IC piping goes, SR hot pipe is a direct fit, but coldpipe will take a bit of work to get it on. The dp is tricky. You have a couple options. You can look for a CA dp, you can use a SR DP that is modified (you need to cut, flip, and reweld part of it) or you can get a SR 02 housing and SR dp.

You won't be disappointed with the CA. I just got back from playing with mine:) Boost is fun!

Where did you get your CA from?

I have a heavy throttle hotpipe w/HKS flange and HKS SSQV for sale if you're interested. It will bolt up directly as it was made for CAs and SRs. e-mail me if you're interested. [email protected]

Thanks!-Ian

See if your motorset has a downpipe flange. My motorset was cut through the downpipe to remove it from the car, which left me a nice flange attached to my 02 housing. If you're trying to save a few dollars you could bring that to an exhaust shop and have a downpipe bent and welded for you.

If not then finding an SR guy looking to get rid of their stock 02 housing probably wouldn't be too hard. I've -never- seen a CA downpipe for sale so if time/money is an issue you're probably better off having something made or going with the SR pieces.
