I have a sidewinder manifold . I was looking Into making an intake that ran through the fender( where inline pro runs there intercooler pipe) to the bumper . Has anyone done this? What is the biggest pipe that can fit through there? I was considering getting a 4" to 3" adapter since 4" pipe seems big for there .

 

4" will be way too large. 3" will be close. Most setups I see, people run ducting from the front grill up through that hole by the headlight to bring the cool air to the filter.

 

I figured. The filter does get hot/warm. I'm sure some cooling for it will make a difference? Just have the filter right off the turbo now.

 

Who here has braced their turbo manifold? And if you have, what are you using? Helm Joints?

 

Does anyone run 3" straight pipe with just a resonator or a dynomax race bullet?

 

Even with a 3" intake, you'd need to remove the headlight brace/bracket.

 

Is this legit? The part number matches the real deal but could this still be a fake?

Is this a pipe or tube manifold?

 

If your manifold is cracking, bracing it probably isn't going to help. You need better welds.

 

Yes, he blocked the bleeder as left the hose on it. So it did not work very well as it was a dead end.

The question about removing the hose is also basically the same problem, you are indeed blocking the constant flow of coolant, and it is simply only a bleed location once you remove the hose. I simply do not understand why anyone feels it is necessary to remove the hose. Is it a "form" change? Does it look better or something? Because it is certainly not a function upgrade. I stated my uneducated, educated opinion, Im moving on.

You are correct on removing coolant flow from the IAC and TB, the car will function properly without them. The TB is literally a loop anyway,
