so this has been sitting in the garage for a bit...and finally got around to changing out my charge pipe with a donate ($$$) pipe from TTNuge..Wound up cleaning it up, (mostly) and sending it off to Schwing for some minor powder coating.....(and some a bit of extra finishing)...

Pre install pic with the covers removed....looks pretty good for 125k plus! ;-)

Finished product.....gonna redo the bands that hold the charge pipe in polished or black PC....still deciding...

Wound up replacing a few old rubber hoses with some silicone...redid the capped hose on the DV relocation kit on the charge pipe side........
Also need to redo the Greddy cap so the orientation of the vaccuum line so it is inboard not outboard....



Minor stuff....but starting to get crap/mods out of the garage/basement...more to come!<ul><li><a href="http://public.fotki.com/TTinCT/tt_modifications-1/engine_mods/polished-charge-pipe/">http://public.fotki.com/TTinCT/tt_modifications-1/engine_mods/polished-charge-pipe/</a</li></ul>

Looks good Hans, I'd vote black PC for the brackets, but I just like the contrast.

Glad ya like it..;-)
