Ok so I have a few questions: 1) I am about to buy a cheap turbo intake ( here) since we all know piping is piping. now i also want to buy a K&N filter to go with it, however don't K&N filters use the factory airbox? if so how do I use a K&N filter with this intake since I won't have the airbox? :x 2) Where is a good place to buy braided steel oil lines and also where is a good place to buy vacuum lines? 3) I am soon going to have the custom tubular manifold made. how big should I make the runners and how big are the ports on a 1.8? 4) And last but not least, How big should I make the upper and lower intake piping?

[right][snapback]174822[/snapback][/right] 1. you will have to fabricate it somehow. Im not sure if the 1.8 has a maf or map, but that intake is designed to be used with a maf. 2. you can get the steel braided lines from any 2g install kit (offered on just about every dsm website). 3. idk, can't help ya there. 4. 2.5 in should be adaquate for the ICP. If you intend on creating higher boost you may want 2.75 in.

QUOTE 1 do you have maf? if you do you need a maf adapter, I have a real mans one not one you find on ebay with only 3 inch inlet I have 4 and a half. Ask me if you need it. Almost forgot, how much do you want for it? QUOTE 4. 2.5 in should be adaquate for the ICP. If you intend on creating higher boost you may want 2.75 in. Ok thanks, I will only be running around 10-11 psi until i do some other motor mods and even then i will be only running around 14psi. I really cant wait to get this build done :D I even decided to put off the paint job so I can focus on this lol

2" intercooler piping will be cheaper and more manageable. since your not running over 20psi you will be just fine. It will also save you from buying any kind of step up adapters or anything like that. Take your old manifold and measure the ports, then measure the gasket ports. use the biggest measurements and make the ports and runners the same size.
