I parked my wagon, and im not driving it until next week!! hehe. running open down pipe cause to much attention ;-)

 

[magnumP5]

so i didn't really do anything to the P5 today but I did map out the entire intercooler piping and now have a schematic and list of all the pipes and couplers I'll need. The piping that came with the turbo is all only 1.75" so I'm going with a 2.25" piping. Does anyone know where I can find the flange that goes from the s pipe to the downpipe? Speedmetal7 is gonna be fabricating me a downpipe so we need the flange on top of the steel piping I'm getting. I can't wait!!

If you're going to run 2.25" I would only run it on the "hot side" and then transition up to 2.5" on the "cold side". If you ever plan on relocating the MAF, you need to know the MAF is 2.75" in diameter so that would be a pretty big step up from 2.25"

Yup...that's the way I read it.

Yep, that's how I wrote it

So...I don't exactly understand the rims/tire size chart thingy...

When looking up on the internet, the 215-40-18's were pretty much the same as the stock rims size and the 215-45-18's were like 3% bigger...why if dropped will these not work when the fenders are rolled...just wondering since everyone says you have to go with the 215-35-18's...

Thanks for the help...

Ok that sounds good to me. So magnum, tell me if this ia good. I plan on going intake to pipe to MAF to pipe to turbo. Sound good?

dunno if you know much about tires.. but the middle number is the height of the tire. .. could be the offset effecting the fact of the rolled fender.. but
