IC install Craziness

Post by LegacyPunk »

So i get my Perrin IC hose kit, everything fits well but the hose falls like 2 inches short of the turbo. I think the answer is in a PVC pipe piece. Sure, I think intalling a WRX Intercooler would be easy, WRONG!

First problem: a WRX BOV doesn't fit
Second problem: Coolant tanks in the way
Third problem: igniter needs to be moved
fourth problem: the stock BOV has been officially deemed "Cute" by me, mainly because the valve is TINY
Fith problem: im running oout of patience
Sixth problem: i need to get this done in the next 3 days
Seventh problem: my brain hurts
8th problem: I can't figure out how to spell 8th
Nineth problem: I stupidly cut up my exisitng plastic turbo tube in hopes of connecting the Perrin hose to it...didn't work
Tenth problem: its late, time for me to sleep :x :shock:

all in all my collecting of parts for this project has taken 4 months
so if anyone has a magic WRX IC instant install kit please let me know...
