Need some advice

[Ottoman]

I just joined the DSM world recently (bought a 96 GST just last week!)

I've been shoppin around for good prices.. lookin to "complete" a important chunk (IMO) of the stage I mods..

currently i have 2.5" exhaust.. straight pipe all the way through no silencers no cats just pipe.. to a 2.5 ID muffler...

no Emissions parts on the car, i have Boost gauge and A/F gauge in the A-pillar..

i figure it's time for intake side..

rather then bothering with cutting and hacking the Bov dump tube and the black box on the lower IC pipe, chopping the stock snorkel and fabbing a pipe in between...

I was planning on getting:

Greddy hardpipe kit Upper/lower, Greddy Type S BOV and the Injen Intake+filter...

the 3 of them can be had for $550+ shipping on www.hopupracing.com which is the cheapest i found them..(by a pretty big margin too)

has anyone had any dealings or heard anything about this site/company out of California? i'm lookin to order pretty soon and would like to know if anyones heard anything about them?? reliable? on time? shady? unknown?


any Comments or Suggestions welcome!

if i you are going to stick with the stock t-25 turbo, then i suggest u make ur own 2 1/4" intake pipe which wont cost you a whole lot, http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=67085, or purchase one of dejon tools 2 1/4" intake pipe for 34.95 along with a k&n filter which will probably save you money compared to buying the injen intake. once you upgrade ur turbo, that "bling bling" injen intake will have to be ripped off since the intake pipe dont fit the bigger turbos.
on the other hand, the greddy hard pipe kit is a steal with that price. all you have to do to fit the type-s bov is to drill two holes on the ic pipe flange. good luck on ur purchase!

thanks for the reply...

u don't think a muffler shop could flare the end of the injen Tube out?

if i went with the K&N and still be stuck with the rubble snorkel :thumbdown
the price diff between the K&N (just filter)vs the Injen (piping plus filter) the diff isn't too big.. and i can still use the filter part of the injen i suppose...

I think it'll be a long time before i can afford to upgrade the Turbo+manifold+injectors+pump+afc+FMIC+piping etc etc..

so my goal was to squeeze out as much as i can from the little T-25 i have...


anyone dealt with this website before?
