Alright I just got my sr running properly but the guy who owned it before me just threw together piping from what looks like multiple cars. I dnno if its because of the piping but my stock t25 doesnt hit full boost till 3500 :?: So, i was wondering what your guys opinion would be on an intercooler setup? Pics would be greatly appreciated!

I can't see your piping causing your t25 to lag, unless maybe it's smaller than stock..

I highly doubt the issue is in your piping, but nobody can tell you a thing without a picture. And the only way I can think of piping being the ultimate cause is if it's a super small diameter and someone decided to make pretzels with it and instead of getting mandrel bends, they kinked the piping when hand bending it over a shop table's edge.

Here's a better question. What do you have your boost set at? If you have it set for like 15+ pounds, it's no wonder it takes so long. It's well past it's efficiency range.

boost is at 12lbs. i hear guys runnin the 2871 that hit full boost before then. Is it just because the stock turbo is tiny and inefficient
