Pics of my intercooler piping and clocked turbo Options

Some people had asked for this before and since I was taking pictures of the axels, I took a couple more of the engine bay for you guys. Notice the silver soldered hard water lines. You can see I have a minor coolant leak somewhere that I need to track down. Enjoy.

how hard is it to disconnect that ic piping when you need to change plugs or do any minor work on your car?

you should paint or powdercoat you heatshield, it will give the whole motor a cleaner look .

I am going to see if my mechanic can help me find it when I get my second magnaflow installed later in the month.

just get your ass under the car and look !!! lol there are only a few places that it can leak from. if its on the passengers side, then its the lower radiator hose. if its on the drivers, then its from the coolant lines that go to the heater or the upper radiator hose. there are also 2 lines that go to the throttle body .. .and thats about it

LOL. I have checked about 20 times in the last 10 days and, when I check, its not leaking Art! I have had to add about a cup a water during that entire time. I got some pin size hole or tear somewhere on the driver side - either the upper radiator hose, radiator neck, or turbo lines.

As for disconnecting the piping, its easy - take the clamps off and pull them apart. They each have two sections but you can't see the seems. Also, I changed the plugs without taking off the piping. I will be doing that again soon when I go to colder plugs.
