Looking for someone that has fabbed their charge pipes for the intercooler.

My question is what and how many bends should I order? I know that different turbos and intercoolers will have different fitments but I am looking for an approximate.

The intercooler will be front mounted and it is a regular log style manifold with the turbo that sits right below the manifold.

How many J bends?
How many U bends?
Is 4

 

i got 2 90's
2 u bends
2 45's
4 foot section

i have a little left over but not too much, i didnt screw up but its good too have extra.

 

do you have pics of your setup?

 

i will be taking some tonight, i can also show you other pics of the assembly that may help you.

by the way, are you located in new york?

 

no colorado

 

also what material should be used? SS or aluminum?

 

i used mild steel, it was easier to work with and is cheap. i didnt use a bead roller either , i just welded a bead around the edge of the pipe so the couplers wont blow off. dont forget to get the good reinforced couplers(not the thin silicone ones) and nice tbolt clamps. jegs has a nice turbo section now with descent prices and very fast shipping.. here is the link.
