IC piping

Is anyone running this style intercooler pipe setup? Looks nice and simple and short, with very few bends & couplers. I know their kits are for SC'd Miata's, but I don't see why you couldn't DIY a similar turbo system.

Somehow I missed the turbo kits at the bottom of the page. Geez, could they charge a little more for them?

the trick is tilting the top of the rad back and fab'ing your top shroud/plate - simple DIY

If I remember correctly he had to reinvent the wheel with the pipes to get them to clear the hood.

No no it wasnt that hard.

You have to be able to weld (or know someone who can)

You cut the rad brackets and weld them about 1.5 inches lower (check this with the rad fans because of the front sway bar)

Then run your pipes and cut the hood a little bit. MAKE SURE YOU GET A INTERCOOLER WITH OUTLETS ON THE SAME SIDE!!
