I'm looking for some new intercooler piping cause mine is garbage. I have a 97 GST and was wondering if I get a universal IC piping kit off ebay do they generally come with everything that ill need? I don't wanna buy it then have to pup a couple more pipes. Has anyone ever bought a universal kit from ebay and used in on their car?

And I was also wondering if anyone knows any sites where they sell specifically 95-99 eclipse gst intercooler piping kits that are designed just for our car instead of getting a universal kit.


Thanks,
Dan
 
I'm actually running several pipes from a 'universal' kit so the speak.. but honestly after all the measuring I did and cutting (to get the angles perfect to weld) and then having to pay for good welds.. it probably would have been cheaper just to drop money on a VRSF or Punishment Kit. Less hassle too.
 
I'd say that they are equal. More people are familiar with the VRSF one because a lot of members use it and I believe it's because of all the group buys that were done.


The other thing about those universal kits is you have to bead the pipe anywhere you cut if you don't want a coupler to blow off.
 
I have used a universal kit on my car before... It was kind of a PITA and the kit I bought didn’t have a flanged pipe for the BOV. I am not sure you can get one with some kind of a BOV flange already in the kit so you would need to buy a flanged pipe with whatever kit you get or have someone make you a flange for your BOV.
 
I have one for my car, i am running a 14b with mishimoto fmic, i ended up using the following pipes.

Greddy Hard Upper IC pipes and BOV (already had installed)
CX Racing FMIC kit (Universal Black)
x4 90 degree bends (you will have to cut some)
x1 45 degree bend

Thats how mine is ran and its working great. But not worth the trouble in the long run.
