ok how about me, since I personally hypothesize it wont net any gain in power.... I am going to dyno my car soon, and I will dyno stock vs your pipe.
My car is also far from stock....
So Andrew, for the sake of science..... gimme

I could use it to make me feel like my just-purchased 951 is something other than a cursed piece of crap. In case you missed the story:

Day 1 - Took ownership, alternator belt snapped
Day 2 - Repaired alternator / a/c compressor polyrib belt, realized a/c compressor clutch is shot. Made note to self to replace a/c compressor clutch. Realized pipe was missing from J-boot connector. Replaced hose to J-boot connector. Drove car. For 10 minutes. Washed car. Drove car (for 5 more minutes). Blew up turbocharger. Currently confronted with replacing turbocharger. Grrr.

For ugly pics, see the "Someone please tell me the turbo isn't toast" thread. They cause me pain.

How about this one NZ.

I've owned my car for a year now and have drove it for 3months of that year. I wrecked my car last october and unlike most people would walk away from a Forum such as this and would probibly forfit to fix the 17yr old car.


NOT ME!

I not only, did not walk away, but I spent that extra money and bought a rennlist membership to give back to those that gave me the help and support I needed. Everyone here knows what its like to not drive your car for a short period of time, well think of me, I havn't drove my car in 9months!

Do I really need the IC Pipe? No, Why did I post then? To tell my story ... hehe.. I should have my car by next weekend and I need a welcome back present to give to my baby

I'm not getting laid... having something that says "powerhaus" under the hood might help (hey, you never know), so how 'bout sending it this way..?

Eyal DID successfully blow up his turbo first - so I'll nominate him. At least he got to DRIVE his car for a while though. . .

After ordering so much stuff from US and despite it being sent as gifts the UK Customs & Excise sting me for the duty & VAT anyway. It would be nice to receive a real gift. That way as the value could be put below £35.00 for insurance and the tax man would get bugger all !!! Come on NZ help me beat the British tax man, surely this would be enough reward for anybody and even more so as NZ pay into our commonweath......... Come on mate we even share a flag!!!!
I'll pay your postage too! Make a pommie happy!!!!!

NZ,
Why not? Afterall, I can appreciate a good game of cricket and am finishing up my install of a TO4E and is currently trying to build a pipe from the turbo to accomodate a Lindsey Stage 1 MAF. Pus, I always pay for shipping.
