your hotpipe... is still not ready

BUT there is good news No I didn't save a bunch of money on my car insurance, but we DO have the intercooler piping all cut to size. my neighbor just needs to bring home the welder from work this weekend and sit down and weld it all up. Yours will be the first one shipped out when we finish, and I will let you know when we're done. What flange do you need for your BOV? Do you want me to get one (from Enjuku, right up the street) or do you want to send me the one you have?

Also, is there any more interest from other people who might need a hotpipe? I have the materials to make 3 or 4 hotpipes right now (one to Rico, one to my friend here in Orlando, and maybe one myself... or to sell). They are going to be mandrel bent mild steel (BOV flange can be added too). They are basically copies of the Trust pipe I got in my intercooler piping kit. They use the first rubber elbow off the turbo (so you can use either an SR or CA turbo with the proper elbow). I'll get pictures of the one I'm copying up in a minute...

sorry the pic is so huge... the hotpipe I'm replicating is the silver pipe on the far left of the picture. There won't be the bracket or the nipple on the side, just the pipe.

SWEET. Unless it is less than a GReddy one (which I expect it should be) I need to wait a week to pay for it And I am going to have a buddy of mine fab up a flange for my ARC BOV. I am going to recurric till I can get a proper ECU....Keep me posted!!!

EDIT: If you can somehow find a Al ARC flange, it would be a lifesaver, but not necessary
