i was wondering since a lot of you do fmic upgrades if somebody had the pipe and couplings that go from the turbo to the intercooler on an s13 redtop. i already have the pipe the goes from the intercooler to about halfway to the turbo, i need the other pipe and the 90 degre coupling on the turbo. let me know if you can help. thanks.

The cheapest way is to go to a local store that sells rubber 2" 90° elbows (from turbo), and mandrel bends. If your IC piping is 2.5" you should ;pick up a few inches of 2" pipe and a 2" to 2.5" rubber adapter. Ended up costing me about $25 or $30.

If your using rubber peices from a hardware store be careful, because if the compressed air gets hot enough it could melt it. Thats why all the IC kits use silicon coupler peices.

Yeah, and there's never been problems with them i've ever heard of. Mine are designed for 225°C and built for diesel turbos on semis.
