From my experience, I would recommend dejontool. Though as of recent when I went with an ebay full fmic kit that includes all the ic piping (short route at that) and a big fmic, for only a lil bit more than the "L" and "S" pipe, kinda made me think what I was doing back then, then again it wasnt available back then. However now, I am just sharing the wealth. So if all your looking for are the pipes from the TB to stock smic location, I would recommend dejontool. Do a search if you wish there are many threads on it. The TB flange is super thin, the silicone couplers might be too short for some leaving to no adjustment and have to be perfect fit or else it will leak, and the clamps seem like ordinary clamps you can find at HD racing (home depot). Other than that it is a proven product from a reputable DSM vendor. Oh yea you get to pick what color.

Then theres the XS auto/ss auto chrome fmic kit. It will come with ALL the piping, bigger piping, short route, 4ply couplers, and tbolt clamps, big core. comes with lower ic piping as well. For $295 shipped. You buy that and you will be pretty much be done with the ic piping/fmic part of your upgrade path. There are some things you have to know about this kit as well. BUt it has all been covered here

good luck!
 
Aight guys thanks for the help, but i want a hard pipe that goes from the intake manifold all the way to the stock intercooler, but ive seen that it looks like they dont make 2G Flanges for the stock BOV :( So how would this work???? like the pic below.. or you know that peice thats connect to the stock blow off valve if i can use one hardpipe that conect to the right side then use another hard pipe that connects to the left side... you guys know what i mean if it's not possible with a 2g BOV to have the hard pipes the way it looks in the picture below
 
Do yourself a ginormous favor and ditch the stock 2g BOV. It isn't good for anything. It's plastic and it leaks. Either buy a 1g BOV, find one in a junkyard, or buy a Greddy or some other recirculating BOV (heck, even the Greddy knock-off is probably better than the 2g). To try to use the stock 2g BOV with aftermarket intercooler pipes would be both a waste of time, reliability, money, and effort.

When I bought my Dejon UICPs I went ahead and ordered the 1g BOV directly from his site. I'm very happy with the pipes, though I'll be repainting them when I fab up my FMIC piping. They've been rubbed a bit by the air filter and such.
 
Yup. Pretty much.

You don't necessarily have to go with the 1g BOV if you don't want to. It's all a matter of preference or budget. In my case, I was broke, so I went with the 1g. If I had to do it over again today, I might go with a Type S or RS. Either way, Dejon offers plenty of flanging options for his pipes, so whatever you decide to go with, you just choose which flange you want.
 
My suggestion is to move on from this point.
hit up ebay, for $130 you can get a new uicp and licp from "altezzaworld" and pick up a $35 knock-off greddy type-s bov.

This allows better flow and allows you to ditch the super lame and leaky 2gbov. Your turbo will thank you.
 
I posted in your other thread, but my suggestion still stands. Don't waste money on an excessively expensive uicp like that - its not even complete, it still uses the huge rubber hose, unless you buy the other half for even more money.

ebay one for half the cost and end up with a full uicp and licp to boot.
 
I also am in the market for new pipes but from the look of that ebay front mount it may be the way to go because like stated in the thread you won't need to touch it again. Also it's so nice having defiant and his comments back, I had missed them.

Can you give me a link to the pipes to ltezzaworld i cant seem to find the sucker.
 
Front mount would be overkill if you plan on keeping the t25, hopefully not. It will actually slow your spool time for that turbo. Has to " fill " the ic and pipes before it pressurizes so you will notice a slight decrease in turbo response if you go with a ginormous fmic.
 
kind of off topic but would gettin a big front mount like the group buy one, hurt the turbo? I am planning on upgrading the turbo, but not anytime soon. Im on a low budget and I'd hate to have to buy a uicp and then have to get all new piping when i upgrade the turbo and go fmic..

btw im on stock t-2small rightnow..
 
Im not planning on going 16g anytime soon so that ebay set would do? why would i need a new tb gasket?
