Default ok intercooler is on ...now about the pipes?

well i was considering making the i/c pipes myself but i dont have a welder and stuff like that so i figured out if i do it myself it will cost a hell of alot cheaper but will look like crap and not be all that reliable so i was thinking of taking it somewhere to get done.... where do you think i should get it done at or can anyone on here do it for a price?

Do all the markings and set it all up. Then the parts that need to be welded just take to a welder. They will do it for cheap. You should only need 3 maybe 4 welds depending on your a/c and if you have a pipe that will already work with the bov you have so you dont have to weld a flange.

A half-decent welding setup isn't overly expensive- here's a link I was given when I asked about budget welders, these are supposed to be nice light-duty units.

You'll want to get one with the regulator for gas use, and it wouldn't hurt to get a helmet .

i have a guy who welds really good for a decient price. but he can't make pipes. my suggestion would be to get an aftermarket upper i/c pipe and buy a j pipe and buy jc whitney or places like that universale bends. good luck. you should have just bought a kit compleate so you wouldn't have to go throught all of this. thanks mike
