Thanks! It's been a little while, but I've been working on the intercooler mount, end tanks, and hard pipes. Should have an update soon once I'm done.

General form the end tanks are.

I like those end tanks so far. Did you shape them that way or did you cut a pipe in half? I wish I'd thought of that. I guess that'll be for my next IC lol.

Cut a large pipe in half. Unfortunately I don't have the metal forming tools (or the skill lets be honest) to make the end tanks exactly how I wanted so I had to improvise.

Got the intercooler mostly done. I also have the hot side pipe completed, I'll get pics when I put it back in the bay.

That is quite pretty. Appears that it should work as well as it looks.

Thanks Kevin. I spent a lot of time thinking about how to get the best flow, while still having it be aesthetically pleasing, and fit the space properly. I'm quite happy with how it turned out.

Shit, whatever man, that thing turned out great! I like those end tanks better than mine, and I designed mine myself lol. I wish I'd thought of that. How did you want them made?

This is how mine turned out, and I like your end tanks better lol.

I'll post pics of the VMIC I designed that I'll be pulling apart today or tomorrow..... Depending on fever

Thanks buddy!

I wanted to use sheet metal and make all the transitions nice and rounded etc.

I like the entry/exit points on yours, that's what I was originally thinking/wanting to do with mine. The pipe routing just wasn't working out with my turbo placement.

Here is the hot side pipe done, and the beginning of the cold side.
