intercooler piping
I have the l4 engine. I'm wondering what kind of turbo piping you guys are running. (The angle, what they're made of, and how you have them running) I just installed a intercooler. Next is piping. I've seen someon ebay which I think I'm going to go with cause they look legit and don't seem that big of a problem if I buy generic piping. Thanks.

just make sure you get piping with a decent wall thickness so you don't crush them when you tighten the couplers. the piping I use in the turbo kits I sell is ~2mm thick. I have pictures on my site.. www.turbosocks.com

I agree with that. The cheap stuff I got with my AGP IC will collapse when using the T bolt clamps. Must be why they included worm clamps.

also, there is some crappy stuff on ebay that when you cut it doesn't like it to much.. at least I had issues with getting a clean cut on my big metal saw.
