GT35/40 where to get piping to IC?

I have a blitz SMIC and need to figure out piping for the GT35/40 turbo. Those not familiar with the blitz, it uses the stock IC piping. Also, Im guessing I cant use my Rx7fasion cold air box anymore?

Any ideas?

Just a thought: get a new IC and intake.

I dont care about the intake, the GT35kit may or may not come with one, if not I can get an intake, but there is no point to get a new IC. Even if I get a new IC I still have to get piping. I'd rather work with the one I have.

Here's what I did for my T04S. I took the passenger side pipe and cut it down a little, just before the bend. I picked up a 2.5" 90* silicone elbow and a small section of 2.5" pipe, with a 2.5 --> 2.75 transition and it works fine.

Since I have a second set of IC pipes, I'm thinking about trying to fit a 2.5" 90* bend and make it come out to the stock location. I clearanced the front of the LIM a little and I think it'll fit. That way I can avoid the sharp 90* coupler coming off of the turbo.

Zero, search the exhaust section at summit racing. They have stainless steel U & J bends that you can use to fabricate your piping. Just cut reweld and grind the insides smooth.

i saw a crude set-up using the old "accordian"(read stock intake hoses). It worked but wasnt very astetic. I have a greddy FMIC and i use an Elbow off a T-78 kit and it works decent and looks cool. Although I dont think you can do the Greddy Elbow off a T-78 kit.

I've put in more of these things than I care to think about, if you can shoot me a pic(sean@a-spectuning.com), I may be able to solve the intake box and IC problem, I also have all the piping Aluminum or whatever you may need.
