I have a couple intercoolers to choose from. T3 manifold to turbo out of thick mild steel is exactly what i'm looking for. Even have a prototype. I'd prefer ceramic coated. Also have a 524td manifold. Seems they can be had for around 80-100 shipped. I'm actually going to need a lot of stuff coming up real soon. I'm sure we can work some stuff out as i have enough spare turbo stuff to start my own drift team. Lol

You have a prototype? Perfact! lets see it! :up: you can pm me if you prefurr..
Lot of stuff?? ok... I need a style 5 Silicone Intake Boot in black :nice:

Here is the smaller one I am selling.

Dude sooo want the style 5's wheels!
where will that fit? above or below the bumper?
Looks thick...

If that is a 24x12x3 it will fit perfectly if you take the fogs out.

Give you measurements when I get home from work. It fits in front of the radiator.

I'm actually using a volvo intercooler as well. I mounted it upside down. Mine may be a little different though, because it doesn't really hang below the valence at all. Fits beautifully, and the AC condenser still fits.

Really do you have any pic's very interested in your set up!

I'll give you a whole turbo setup if you make me a batch of manifold back exhaust systems. I should have some jigs made by the end of the month. You guys have a mandrel bender? My fabricator only does minimum orders of 25 and i only can afford small batches like 5-10.

[MonkeyMadness]

I'll do your adapters, and other smaller shit, but I would rather stay away from the exhaust of any lenght..
That's kind of out of my department.. I wouldn't be the guy bending them, as I'm not as versed on the cnc benders and would have to pay a guy to bend. This would cause a bit of a probem for me as I'm not the owner and could have a little back lash...
I run the shop but don't pay the bill if you know what I mean.. sorry
I would love to get my hands on a exhaust... drool

the other stuff I can do...

[MonkeyMadness]

Ok well I got fed up and tired of procrastinating...
So I already had the front end torn apart. So I pulled out the
heavy tool and cut up my shit and mounted that fucker..!
I'm soo fucking happy with how it turned out..
took afew pic's and pulled this off in about 3hrs.

So looks like the last thing I have to do is relocate and mount the oil cooler. Then cut the light buckets to remove the high beams..
I was thinking about the open holes so I'm going to cut up some lights and make faux-high beam light to fit in the open spaces...

Nice valve cover. I think it would be sick if you stripped it, polished it, then have it anodized what ever color you BOV is going to be. I was going to do one in purble. Still might.

You know, That's not a half bad Idea..! :D

So whats up with the adaptor you wanted?


Mean wile back in the bat cave..
The Faux-high beams I've been working on
Lost one in the first attempt..
But I figured it out! :mrgreen:









So my plan it to back it with polished aluminum to give that deep light
look and drill a small hole at the bottom and inset a blinker bulb..
to have them act as running light and a blinker..
Then get the euro bumper trim from blunt and delete my bumper blinkers..
is that too -> :loco:

[einstein57]

I the euro trim will only delete the side marker. The blinkers will need some custom work done. I'll hit you up in a couple weeks after christmas and we can work some details out.

[MonkeyMadness]

Cool, Just let me know

straight6pwr deleted his front turn signals and installed LED's into his low beams to blink but making the high beam blink would be cool too. There's another guy, can't remember his name, who installed Bi-xenons into his low beams and made the high beams city-lights. Do a search for "bi-xenon retrofit"

****Found him: http://r3vlimited.com/board/showthre...ight=bi-xenons

You use the impact strip from a rear bumper to delete the fronts. Not snap in though, gotta do some plastic welding.
