Is there anyway to route it to the opening where a second oil cooler would sit WITH pop up headlights?! I'd go look myself but I dont have my car with me right now.

Sorry, the IC is out of the car in that picture. The one tube goes through the middle of the duct over to the driver side headlight for a second cold air filter. As Alex mentioned that other tube is going to the intake of the second turbo.

what picture are you looking at ?

What are you smoking man!?! Hell will freeze over before you could convince me engine bay temps are lower than air 12" from the ground on any given summer's day.

yes

I'm going to bet that stock intakes are plastic due to cost. Since metal/composite/etc are more expensive in high volume and don't offer performance advantages, the moldings make a lot of sense.

Nice, tidy job. Looks to be effective.

Almost the same thing I did for my TO4R. I wedged a filter in the cooler duct though. Very nice craftsmanship. :)

Great fab job, but, um, what happens when the compressor ingests a pigeon? :D

PIGEON BURGERS!!

Looks awesome, and gives me an idea.

Nice job.

Are you looking at the same pics as everyone else?!?....Please explain?!

HELL YES !!!! Sweet job John http://instagiber.net/smiliesdotcom/...iggthumpup.gif Just as I pictured it !!......But don't forget who's idea it was ;)

What about the piping for the IC? Where will that go?

You bitch!!:)

LOL, but it was YOUR vision http://instagiber.net/smiliesdotcom/...nkai/flipa.gif http://instagiber.net/smiliesdotcom/otn/funny/moon.gif

To the Turbo, heres a pic of when John was doing some test fitting w/ the air duct piping, you can see the the IC pipes......

what turbo is that? GT35R?

edit: just saw sig, nvm

Hey John, if I remember right we had thought of doing that to my car last summer ;)

nice job......keep away from puddles

This car has run the Veilside front w/ two K&N cylindrical cleaners for several years in all weather with no problems at all. The bench racers can't know it, but your setup will work great.

Yeah, i asked John to drill a little hole at the bottom of the duct to avoid water build up, like some exhaust tips have.

What are you disagreeing with? So your telling me that there wont be any hot air comming in with an intake that low on a hot summer day? Go out side an feel how hot the asfault gets when it's 100+ degrees outside. The air just above the asfault is as hot as the asphalt itself. Temps can reach 120-130 degrees down there. Ever heard of the term track temps? By the way FMIC's get the same hot air too. I'm not saying this shouldn't be done but it really depends where you live. Where I'm from most of the asfault on our streets as black. So I personally would never do a mod like this. Plus some of our areas flood pretty easily.

I'm not smoking anything I understand the concept. Yes the temps will be lower than compared to inside the engine bay. My point is that you picked the lowest place to pull in cold air which is not the best place. However it's the most convient spot to do so. If you could have gone higher it would have been better especially if he gets caught in a rain storm.

Yeah I hear what your saying....But The Pacific Northwest doesn't get as nearly as hot as Texas does, even during summer.....I'm in Oklahoma now and the summers hear are muthafuckin hot, triple digits, and its in no way comparison to Washington's summer......Now flooding rains may possibly be an issue, but If push comes to shove I can just remove the piping off of the compressor housing.
