So yerp went out there again today for more turbo modding goodness.

 

Picked up where I left off yesterday and long story short made it all fit. I got my 5 inch diameter alloy pipe and chopped that farker up into an intake pipe. I welded a fitting onto it for the catch can breather and put it all together. It all fits, looks somewhat neater and yeah, should make some hectic dose noises. I might get to cleaning it all one day but that day ain't today!

is that an engine oil cooler or a transmission oil cooler?

 

looks great, the new intake pipe :) probably needs an airbox around it but probably works fine for your setup because boost.

Trans cooler haha it's was a better buy price wise to an upgrade to what I was using. It's heat rating is 120,000 BTU where as the one I had was 37,000 BTU. With 40+ degree heat and a high stall it's better safe then sorry.

Anything new on your trans??

That's the trans cooler. I was thinking I'll make an airbox for it. It'll neaten it up more.

What were your average trans temps during summer if you can remember Puff? Do you still have the rectangle rubber seal from the original IC setup to get good airflow through the transcooler (if it seals on it)?

Iirc the trans would sit at about 75c. I wrote the numbers in this thread a while back if anyone can be bothered finding them. Yeah I got the rubber thing still but it's on the shelf atm.
