Well I want to intercool my car eventually (mainly a money issue right now), and had my heart set on the turbomotion kit, which sounds simply wicked. But, that thing costs like $1k or $1.5k doesn't it? (Correct me if I'm wrong).
Why can't I: Buy an intercooler -- maybe the huge Ford intercooler people are loving over in the General Tech section for $200 to $300. Buy the turbomotion V2 intake. And make the piping myself.
Maybe I'm sounding naive, but it doesn't sound too crazy. If I could somehow get away without buying the new intake, then I'd really save some cash (what does the V2 intake cost alone?).
Questions:
How hard would it be to make up your own intercooler piping?
How do you 'turn' (twist) the intake side of the turbo so it spits out the compressed air toward the front of the car? This is what is done in the turbomotion setup, and it looks like they need to modify the configuration (maybe even change the wastegate around?)?
Thx!
