what ever uicp you get your going to have to make sure it has a hks flange on it. i went with greddy and had the greddy flange hacked off and a hks flange welded on.
 
I highly recommend Dejontool.com for your intercooler piping. Everything you could want in an intercooler pipe is there: quality, support, and durability. You can get the UICP flanged for your HKS BOV without a problem. Mine is flanged for my Apexi BOV and it is a great match. The price is right as well.
 
:D Thanks guys. I guess dejon wins hands down. Should I get the lower to or is it really that important? I really don't know the piping gives much performance! Could someone xplain a little bit? I know a fair bit about engines but I am totally new to turbo performance but I'm so willing to learn!!;)
 
I'll just throw you my two cents on the subject. If you take a look at your stock IC piping, right below the airbox/K&N area where the IC piping leaves the engine bay and connects up to the IC, there is a piece of plastic piping that is pretty flattened out. There are a few other spots also where the diameter of the piping decreases, which restricts the air flow coming from the turbo. The Dejontool (or any aftermarket IC piping I'm sure) piping is the same size diameter all the way through, so that helps enormously. Basically the new IC piping will help get the air that the turbo is kicking out to your intake manifold in a more efficient way, which results in an increase of power and throttle response. As for the Lower IC piping, it's probalby not as necessary to replace as the upper, but it's nice to have a complete hard pipe system. If you want to nit-pick, the stock lower IC piping has two 90 degree bends to them, whereas the dejontool one has two 75-80 or so degree bends to them. I just did mine like two days ago and the response from the turbo seems a little smoother. In my opinion it's a good idea to do both, and the price is right. Hope this helps bro.
