Do it yourself. I think could be cost benficial... but you would have to be handy with a spanner or two...Good to hear you got good results from those injectors. I've installed a number of them so far was great resultsDanny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to the aps setup.. Worth it over std plumbing? 500% We're waiting for it to undo itself and jump outYes. My handy Tig work..another showing my handy tig work.."Great success" <c> boratJohnny is no longer a dentist, we can show you his face nowAfter doing johns, We prooved exactly how restrictive the std plumbing is... Sure, we already noticed that when I had to lower the boost duty cycle to bring the boost down to the same level.But in comparison, My car, running same 13psi boost with same 12psi actuator, has .5 duty cycle, johns has .17 duty cycle, All because of the non restrictive intercooler.

You will see that 1" diamater pipe does no justice.. its a major restriction (after the std intercooler restriction)..d. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
