Im almost done. Need intercooler pipes for my kade. I've seen kits on ebay. But none have the small hook up for the suction tube near the tb. My car is very beautiful pearl white s14 with factory black leather. So id like to continue the clean baller look. Does anybody know where i can order chrome intercooler piping? And has the suction line hook up at the tb?

That's what I was just going to say. You don't even need to weld the fitting on, just drill the hole slightly smaller then the size of the fitting and use a fat rubber oring between the fitting and the pipe for a solid vacuum seal. Two nuts will secure the fitting in place, one on the inside one on the outside.

I feel like a noob asking, but what is the purpose of this nipple? Its on the ic piping (cold side seeing positive pressure?)? Maybe Im putting to much thought into this. My mind is racing after reading MD's post regaurding the PCV explanation. (also realizing Im opening an old post :blush: )

I believe the nipple he's talking about is the air supply for the intake air control valve. It's not PCV related.
