StarQuestMike Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll82/MikeTrottermb/IMG00040-20100720-1053.jpg Finally got a vacuum nipple for the manifold so I can run this bad boy. Painted the pipe red, Not to happy with how it turned out but it will do for now. Will probably end up just buying a whole new set of pipes anyway. Only thing I see about it that I'm worried about is it blows off right on top of my fan plug. I am worried it might melt the wires for the fan. Now what should I add to my car next? Looking to pick up a wideband next paycheck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarQuestMike Posted July 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Also installing this pipe lifted that line from the radiator. Was thinking of cutting off the tip of the pipe at the bottom so it would sit lower. You guys have a better idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was thinking of cutting off the tip of the pipe at the bottom so it would sit lower. You guys have a better idea?As long as it's not kinked, and your hood closes, I'd just leave it. If/when you decide you don't like it anymore, replace it with a braided SS unit, you can snake it under the pipe like I have mine:http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4060/4673562840_8f304db34f_b.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarQuestMike Posted July 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 http://www.paragonperformance.com/assys.html which one would you recommend? How long do I need? what fittings etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmyers151 Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Contact "jolyrgr" or "brianpaul98" here on the boards. They each sell SS braided replacement lines like mine, cut to the right length and with the fittings already installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laodicea Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 (edited) Only thing I see about it that I'm worried about is it blows off right on top of my fan plug. I am worried it might melt the wires for the fan. LOL if the air going into your engine after the intercooler is that HOT then you must be plumbing exhaust into the intake. LOL That air going into the engine should never be more than 120*. Mine has been 102* IAT at the hottest this year so far @100* outside temp. You won't melt the fan plug. The radiator fans blow hotter air than that when they come on and it doesn't melt anything...I hope. Edited July 20, 2010 by Laodicea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technology Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 There's no stock blow off or bypass valve. Open your hood and take a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technology Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 You have to wire a second ignition coil in parallel, then run it to a spark plug in the exhaust tip so you properly burn the raw fuel during shifts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neolowrider Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 the pressurized air between the turbo and the throttle has to go somewhere when u let off the gas and close the throttle plate. olny place i see when i look is the waistgate..

Technology Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 lol, negative. It doesn't go anywhere. It just stops and makes the turbo do the "wash cycle" back and forth 100 times a second, giving you the so-called turkey gobble. That's stock. People add blow off valves or bypass valves for three reasons: to make the turbo live longer, to decrease whatever lag there may be between gears, and sometimes to show off a bit (enter the RFL).
