Dude, it's sooo easy to do with bends from JCwhitney. I was a bit pensive myself when I did mine but trust me.. Once you do it you'd feel like a fool if you let someone else do it for double what it would cost to do it yourself.

Naw dude. I have a spearco FMIC. It was REALLY easy. The only thing you'll have to do is cut the stage I piping a little bit. You may also have to weld a new flange for the BOV on one of the pipes like I did. Here's pics of my setup.. (and RyanI4's)





You would actually need alot less piping than I used. I cant remember what the diameter is on the 1g but I went with 2in piping on the hot side and 2.5 on the cold side.

I'd get say one 2in 180 bend, two 2.5in 90 bends and a few 45's. You'll have to cut the 180's and you'll get some good straight pipes from that because they're pretty long.

I got all mine from JCWhitney and painted them with black engine paint. I think that's what post people do. I also welded the top part coming off the turbo where the coupler is now. If you're going to do it with a coupler make sure that it's a long one. I ended up blowing mine off after a few 5psi runs. Since we welded it I havent had any issues.
