That's where I got mine. $421 for the set. Just did a quick search: Summit Racing had the closest price @ $439.95. Even the stuff on eBay is over $450. I think TireRack has the best price.

Got mine at Tire Rack - $421. They were installed a few days ago and a great difference, I'm so glad I got these. I think it's money well spent to improve handling.

My soft programmer typing hands get beat up wrenching...
I knew I should have taken photos...

Thread Jack:
I had about 1/2 cup oil drain out of the intercooler rubber tube and 1/4 cup on the other side.
Wade stated that he had the same thing and it was the "intake manifold turbo boost recirculation valves"
Ideas? I can start a new thread if you like...

CLassic!!!!
Pretty close!!!

But remember: that the wheels have to be supported, so we used 4x6 wood blocks...
Dropping the exhaust down was nerve-racking to me...

Oil catch cans (1 per bank) will cut down on oil in your Intercoolers. Chung has seen my catch can install. I just installed them in the line on either side of the valve covers going to the intake downpipes between the Turbo & the MAF's. You need to use a set of closed Catch cans on our cars if you it in this location, not the vented type.

"intake manifold turbo boost recirculation valves"


We have a closed PCV (positive crankcase ventilation) system. It vents into the charge pipe. The oil vapors will condense at the intercooler. This is also the lowest point in the system, so naturally it goes/stays there.

What's it taste like? Disclaimer here....and I hope it's small, if you disconnected your lower IC hoses you could have moved/cracked one of the coolant lines to those blasted aux radiators, and you did use red in the drawing.

As you know, red=coolant, green=steering, water, oil?
