Custom intercooler pipes, who's interested?

magnux · Post by **magnux** » Wed Mar 17, 2004 10:30 pm

Basically, I've been getting alot of requests for the I/C pipes I'm using on my Saab 900 setup. In any event, I talked to the guy who makes them and he said if there's a big enough request, he's make them. However, the catch is, he's only gonna do it one more time -- so they all need to be done at the same time, this is a one-time deal.

Price is going to be around ~ $120USD for BOTH. I'm not sure if he'll make just one pipe, I'll have to ask.

So, I need to gauge interest so I know where to go from there. Vote!

Here's a pic:

Give the price for only the first pipe.

Can you list all the fittings the pipes have for stuff and their sizes? All I can see is one on the MAF-to-compressor pipe that's probably about 19mm or 3/4" for the IAC valve and another similarly-sized one on the compressor-to-intercooler pipe. Are there others?

Like I said, I'm not sure he'll even do one pipe. So, I can't give a price until I see how many people are interested.

No, just those two pipes. I'll have to get sizes for you, though.

It doesnt make any sense to require both pipes, more people need the first pipe than the second. Both unintercooled and non saab intercooled cars can use it! The second pipe is saab specific=crap.

exactly, first pipe makes more sense to make. I vote for first pipe.

Mark,

I'd buy both, but I would want to be able to recirculate the DV.

I'd buy the first pipe too but want to go the FMIC route.
Thanks!

I voted for both pipes as well.

I'm sure anyone could drill and fit the 2 other fittings that go on the first pipe, for purge and wastegate bleed, less work for the maker the better IMO...

120$ is steep, but IMO Worth it for making the saab loook much more of a clean install...

The BOV will be able to recirc with that fitting on the 2nd pipe.

I'd also like just the first pipe.

I'll let this run for a couple days, then tally up the votes. I'll get back with my shop guy and see what he has to say, what he'll accomodate, etc.. the little profit he'll be making off these isn't worth much of a hassle to him. It's more a favor, if anything, he'd be doing for me.

I'll keep you all updated.

All of you that voted for both pipes realize that its a SAAB intercooler only pipe right?

If I could just get the resonator delete pipe. I don't have a SAAB intercooler, so the other pipe is just wasting money.

I'd probably buy both pipes, but I think I only really need the intake pipe (pre-turbo)

I'm the vote for interested but unsure.

I really want to get both pipes but I don't want to commit because I'm unsure if I'll have the extra cash when the time comes. If the price for just the pipe from the intake to the compressor inlet is really good I may just have to get it for now because I need it more then the compressor to i/c pipe since I already did a custom one myself. But like I said I would rather get both if I can afford it.

Has it been established that we can run a recirc BOV? VRG3 and Legacy92ej22t and I were talking about it, and we could probably jerry rig some setup into the deal, but it'd be a lot easier if the pipe came with provisions.

I'd take both pipes now that I think about it a little more, I just don't want to commit if I can't produce the money (being in college really drains the wallet, lol)

magnux · Post by **magnux** » Thu Mar 25, 2004 2:17 pm

I had hoped for a few more interested, but I've left my guy a message. Just waiting for him to get back to me. As usual, I'll keep you all posted.

More people? Thats 6 of the first pipe and 3 of the second. How about cross posting this link into the australian liberty site?

Mark,

Uhh, the revlimitms.com.au product is 160$

Im willing the bet this item is far cheaper.

LegacyT · Post by **LegacyT** » Fri Mar 26, 2004 1:11 am

yes but shipping over to australia from here is gonna kill

ciper · Post by **ciper** » Fri Mar 26, 2004 2:42 am

What if the first pipe from this "group buy" was 80$ and shipping was 30, thats still less than the one available over there.

Magnux - Any confirmation on having actual provisions to recirc?
