ss04Flores Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 (edited) So since im in the process of a cam swap i also decide to redo my tubing on the procharger. Now my question is what material do yall use for the new tubing and were can i get it. Maybe somewhere local. Ive even hear of Home Depot or Lowe's. Ive relocated my intercooler which used to be under my truck. Thought it was a stupid idea. Thanks for any help! Pics of the process .....

Krambo Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 All your tubing, clamps and silicone adaptors you'll need are found here: Verocious Motorsports Link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterp Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 (edited) There are a couple vendors on eBay that sell imported aluminum tubing bends cheap; search eBay. Going by memory here but CXRacing??? The best guy I've found for silicone couplers & t-bolt clamps is MK3TUNER. Get a variety of bends and cut them up to make the plumbing you need; you can put everything together with silicone couplers but you will be far better off to take all the pre-fit pieces to a shop that can TIG them all together for you, that way ideally you only have 3 or 4 couplers in the whole system and less chance of coupling/clamp failure IMO. If you do decide to TIG some pieces together your fit-up must be exact. Please post what your change in coolant, transmission, and intake temps are - we regularly do exactly the opposite, relocating the Radix heat exchangers down to behind the front bumper to drop the temps.
