I bought a eBay 3" intercooler pipeing kit for like $100 then the 31x12x4 intercooler for $140. I had to cut and put together the puzzle for the pipe to work lol. But I like it. The overflow tank sat right up against the exhaust housing. And I knew it would only last a lil while till it melted lol. So I re located it. My ac line already EXPLODED! The first day driving. So I need to get a ac line/ hose made to where I can route it around the turbo lol and not under the turbo. The turbo is a Borg warner S465 on a T6 exhaust clang with a 1.10 AR and its a big bitch and takes up a **** load of space

I was at the exhaust shop, just got there. The guys were checking out the turbo, one guy was standing by passenger fender, leaning in over, when it blew out. Scared the **** out of him, he jumped back a feet and took off running towards back of truck Haha . After I te do the ac line I might wrap it with some heat wrap.

Living down dirt roads make it really hard to keep everything clean. That's why everything looks dirty. It's deff time to scrub it down. Running the intercooler piping was a pain .I'm going to get the pipes welded and make them fit a lil bet
