IC got plumbed in today, custom built pipes they are sweet.
1 Solid no joint/coupler pipe from turbo to IC then 1 pipe no joint/coupler to TB. All my sensors are staying where they are, as I do not want any chance whatsoever of boost leak from pipes and 4 couplers is the least I can do so thats where its staying.
Anyways, today at 8 PSI repeated hard pulls on the freeway from 3000 RPM in 3rd up to 5k in 5th, it never topped 100! 98 was the most it reached underboost, and when cruising it dropped to around 85. Ambient was like 70 so I think its doing ok for now. T This is with a shortened AEM Tyhpoon intake to clear the piping so technically its now a SRI instead of a CAI.
ime to turn boost up to 13ish and see how the IC acts around that. The nice thing about my install, is that while the IC is infront of the radiator (duh) the rad fans still pull a lot of air through it since it sits where the stock AC Condenser used to sit.
As an odd effect, the turbo is a LOT louder now that there are no boost leaks and its able to breath properly, but it sounds good now.
