You cant start it and let it idle without a base map just to see if you have oil leaks? that sucks...I guess you got your intake pipes..any issues getting them to fit especially around the power steering pump lines?? Glad to hear your getting close bro.

 

Still no intake pipes. I am having it towed home after the tune. And I know I can idle it, but keep in mind the waste gates will not be attached. I guess they want to be safe.
At this point I dont see a major issue getinf the pipes to fit. Do you have the pipes? Maybe I can borrow yours?

 

yea, I have them. I was looking for a shop around here to fab them up but didnt really find any. I guess I could send them up to you, I wont really need them for a while.

 

Sweet. Obviously I will pay for shipping both ways. But yeah if you find a shop in your area that can fab them up that would be cool. Where are you?

 

North Carolina

 

Are there any performance shops near you?

 

yea, soho motorsports is like 30 mins away. there are a few others but have never really dealt with them. Maybe those dudes at soho could make them?

 

I will givw them a call and find out.

 

ok cool, they seem pretty legit. if they can make their own ST kit I think they can replicate some pipes!

 

Soho said yes on fabrication. No price unless they see what it all entails. But its like what 4 pipes total I believe? 2 pipes on each side from the turbo to the filters.

 

im not really sure exactly which pipes it is. Mine just came all thrown in a box haha. think its 14-17 on the manual.

 

Yes. Those are them. I contacted greddy again to verify pricing just in case they came down from the 600 I was quoted

 

ok cool, I can help you out bro. When I go back this weekend I will dig them up and bring them back to Charlotte. I will get up with you to work out the details later through pm.

 

Awsome, I appreciate it a lot.

 

no prob, I know your in a bind. Hopefully soho can craft some nice pipes for you

 

I hope so too.

 

Making intake piping really isn't that bad at all. You should be able to just buy the material and make it yourself. Just get some silicone couplers, a buddy who can weld and spend the day at it.

 

I wish it were that easy. I dont have any friends that weld, and in order to take it to a shop that fabs stuff it would be a very very ling haul.

 

update: The car is being towed to the tuner on saturday. They wll be fixing the wastegate relocaion tubes, making new intake pipes, and checking everything over prior to tuning.They will also be installing my guages and making me a custom oil catch can set up.

Hopefully everything goes well.

 

good luck man
