before proceeding with final installation, I wanted to address my intercooler pipes.
here is the hot side pipe, it is wrapped in insulation and foil, from the factory it is supposed to quiet turbo noise....but I like turbo noise
stripped the gunk off it
the cleaned it up with a wire wheel, primed and painted; also did the cold side pipe.
while waiting for the paint to cure, figured Id put a new fuel filter in her
and everything put back together
still in the break-in process, but the turbo is much more noticeable, and the boost seems to come on quicker.
