damnit, you're going to make my head pop one day.....buy stripe's piping kit and call it a day. At best all you'll have to do is cut the pipe a tad shorter into the intercooler and reposition the turbo outlet.

ah yes...i keep forgetting you have a 1.8. he is now just selling the piping kit for $225, but it would take a little extra work to make the throttle body end to line up.
