Well for all of you that doubted my flexible IC piping you were 1/2 right. It didn't bend at all but when I was doing the soapy water test the pipes were bubbling. The freaking air was leaking out of the pipes. That was idling so who knows how much was leaking at 9 psi??? Anyway I replaced all the flexpipe w/ mandral bends. Here is what it looks like now. Anything else look like it needs fixed or altered?

looks real nice, how did the intercooler hook up, because with the other pipes it looked a little awkward

The IC is wedged in and held in place by the pipes. I also have ties on it just incase. I had 3 90 degree bends and I only had to cut one piece of 3" straight pipe. The rest fit perfectly. I guess I got lucky w/ the in/outlets on the IC.

cool coldair intake also :)

about how much total did it cost you for this custom kit, I have a little money, and Id like to turbo, but not sure about custom kits... let me know

I have roughly $2100 in the WHOLE thing.

i hope to have a custom kit completed within the end of this month and this is a list of items that i have either purchasd at that price, or have found at that price but have yet to purchase. and i have tried to give you web address's for most of those findings.
