Theres some parts I will redo during the week and need to make new brakets but its on and farout it makes a huge improvement... my 8psi map now hits 11psi The bottom section of pipe out of the IC is what I will change as it hangs a little too low, kind of just all squeezes in under the cover, so I'll extend the pipes and lift it up. I will make a new pipe that goes under the headlight as that is a 2in pipe so there's a nasty restriction, just need to mount the sensor which is what stopped me from making it today. Once that section is done I'll make up a new pipe that goes from the headlight to the TB. All in all its happy boosting days here.

Also, is it a second hand cooler?, it looks like the fins have been pushed in.

But the good thing is the IC sits alot further down so I just have to re think the piping as the stock hoses are definately a restriction. With the new IC and stock hoses its alot better than the stock IC set up, as in it hits harder on boost but pretty much the same off boost. With the new IC and new 2.5inch piping its heaps better all over... alot more low off boost pull and hits boost earlier and pushes on boost alot harder, so the new pipes are definatly the way to go. No pics sorry, it got dark Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/28582-new-ic-and-pipes/#findComment-437773 Share on other sites More sharing options...
