Is this A good Intercooler Piping Kit?

I just want to know everyones opinions on it and also what kind of bov will fit onto it i need it to be a 1g bov. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33742&item=2460801703

doesn't look too bad IMO. It's flanged for a Greddy BOV.

They look fine, and the dealer has sold a lot of items. Unfortunately, we can only tell as much about the item as you can from based on the picture and the user feedback.

will a 1g bov fit on a s type flange by drilling?

 

[TechyGSX]

nope, the 1G BOV is bigger than the Greddy so the 1G wont fit on the Greddy flange. If it was the other way around, then it would be doable.

Usually, upon seeing it being sold by altezza world id say stay away, but hell its only piping so i dont think it could be that bad. I think u could easily have your own mandrel bent setup made though for the same/less.

check the tech articles on this site. There is an excellent one on how to make your own 2g intercooler piping for cheap as heck!

Personally, I'd stay away. I know a guy who got those, and what you can't see from that pic, is that that elbow is a complete 90* angle. It's not smooth at all. It's just 2 pipes welded together. Not to mention that there are no beads on the ends of the pipes, so under boost (or enough boost) they will pop off. Let me tell you how bad it sucks to be driving down the interstate in the rain and have your lower IC pipe blow off. The piping is very thin, (not that big of a deal) and isn't really that great of quality. I looked into getting those (great price) but eventully got the dave brode UIC pipe - much better quality and won't pop off under boost (and even cheaper). My $.02

ya, but instead your rubber hose that goes from the pipe to the smic will blow up instead because dave brode uses a crappy hose there that simply just does not last. Just save yourself some money and make one. Also SLS sells Intercooler piping for reall cheap and great quality, check them out!

Does the dave brode one bolt right on do i need to buy anything more than a 1g bov?

 

[erc's_gsx]

yes, the dave brode uicp is a bolt on as in any other uicp. his pipes are flanged for the 1g bov, so therefore u wouldnt need anything else besides a rubber hose, clamps, and gasket which he provides. import evolution is now carrying his stuff under their name. here are links

I just wanted to throw in my positive experience with Dejon Tool's intercooler piping. It handles 17PSI just fine on my FP Big28. On top of that, I was having troubles with my boost controller (My fault) that caused my boost to be unregulated and fly up into the 20s (Thank goodness for fuel cut). Anyway, the pipe didn't pop due to my stupidity.
