Not trying to thread jack but I'd be interested in seeing this.

What all is there to see? All i did was run a hose from the stock nipple to the boost gauge sensor. If you don't use or run one just simply plug it.

Stop hiding your magic 50hp boost gauge setup.

The chargepipe is only going to include the upper charge pipe from the throttle body to where the lower chargepipe meets. Our newer FMIC offers an option for the lower charge pipe upgrade which in conjunction with our new CP, will replace all of the factory piping.

I've got the non-oem style, no lower charge pipe. Is there a way to order the upper CP and include the lower?

Same. Was hoping to get it this weekend, but snow always ruins everything.

Got mine installed today but I opted for the old design. Still looks pretty good under the hood and doesn't feel like it's going anywhere thanks to my gorilla tightening.

+1 old design with couplers!

Wish granted

Acekid187 · 02-19-2014, 06:58 AM

Very nice

AlpineSwift · 02-19-2014, 09:20 AM

One thing I should note for anyone that doesn't know any better, this charge pipe doesn't come with a replacement hose for the vacuum nipple (the hose that runs from the top of the BOV to the intake manifold). I had to go to the auto store to get a replacement because I felt reusing the stock tubing was a bad idea given how it was being used before.

Definitely get bad ass zip ties or hose clamps (like I did) to secure the new tubing.

Bluesun · 02-19-2014, 09:58 AM

AlpineSwift how do you clean your DCI filters? They look so nice

e90Mark · 02-19-2014, 10:01 AM

I really just want the black option versus the c clip.

Do you have a size?

They're not even 2 weeks old

. K&N recharge kit is the way to go though if you need to clean yours. I've used it on god knows how many different air filters now. Just have to be patient and take your time. I also recommend using the aerosol version rather than the squeeze bottle of oil. It's easier to apply on the cone that way.

O/D of the hose I'm using is something like 5/8" and the I/D is identical to the stock tube (I think its either 1/4 or slightly smaller than that).

I'm thinking of ordering your intercooler + CP with tial, they look fantastic! But just to clarify to a non native english speaker, what additional parts do i need? (apart from the vacuum hose from dv -> intake manifold)

- Are those silicon bends / connections included?
- clamps?
- other bits and bobs?

Cheers!

Tiago@VRSF · 02-20-2014, 11:45 AM

Everything is included with the exception of the hose from the BOV to the intake manifold (included with your BOV) and the zip tie for that vacuum hose

The Tial valve I ordered from TGS definitely didn't include the necessary hose. Not a huge deal and I'm not even gonna blame TGS on that.

When do you guys expect to have the 7" IC's back in stock? Car is pissed with the stock core right now.

Tiago@VRSF · 02-20-2014, 12:00 PM

Was supposed to be Monday but we've had 4 snow storms in a week and a half, it's delaying our delivery a bit. Should be Friday unless we get bombarded again.
