Side intercooler pipe.
<center><img src="http://www.18turbo.com/icpipe-compareX.jpg"></center><p>Our side intercooler pipe is squished like a pancake. There is a ABD pipe that replaces it with a normal pipe. Does anything think its worth it?

Not unless they redesigned it - the one in the picture blows off the hoses on a regular basis
as there was no lip or flange for the clamp to hold it on. Their HP claims were proven to be just that on the dyno as well.

This pipe is not such a bad design IMHO.........
yes it *pancakes* but that is a compromise between wheel clearance and airflow.
The pancake design is not bad since it gets wider at the belly and then back to the O shape.
I think the Neuspeed and the Eurosport are gimmicks
