After much frustration and about 4hrs of my time. I finally got my pipes installed. Everything matched up nice. Couldn't ask for better quality. Fit and finish are the best I've seen. I want to thank 4Dr for his efforts. Now, the rear turbo is a bit*h to get to and so is the front 1 for that matter. Lol. Just my 2cents. Anyways her are some pics

Did spark plugs and thermostat while I was at it. No problems. Went smooth. After all these mods, guess it's time to make my 2nd payment. Ugh. Installing lockpic 2morw. Never ends
 
If you put the correct fitting in that nitrous hole you can blow up balloons at parties!!!!!  And if you are spraying 100% methanol at the same time, if you blow them up enough, they will explode in flames!  Really impresses guests, as long as you don't light your vehicle on fire... 
 
Almost difficult to tell really, because of the fact they are black like the factory rubber/plastic ones.

But cool nonetheless.

Did you happen to take any extra pictures of your install?

You know, like where the pipes connect, or underneath where the turbos are at?

I got plenty of pics. I'll post soon
 
Just get'n home now from having installed mine as well.....

Took a lil longer than anticipated. But I'll digress for now, as I have to eat some lunch real quick, and lay down for a quick power nap as I am on shift tonight.

In the interim, absolutely LLLLLOOOOVVVVVEEEEE the newly discovered blow off sounds from the VTA flanges for the factory electric BOV's.

Pretty cool stuff. :ok:

Here's a few post install pics of my own that I'd like to share:









It's almost a shame I'll be covering a portion of these up with my engine cover.

Speaking of which, due to the flanges for the factory BOV's being just a tad bit longer, the rear BOV seems to be hitting the one corner of the engine cover, and preventing it from being secured down.

I anticipate having to whack off the vertical edge of the driver's side of the cover in order for it fit properly.

Other than that, biggest ordeal was the small, goofy pipe that spans inbetween the flange for the intercooler, to the inlet side of the front turbo.

But I found a work around, which I've already spoken directly to 4DR about. So subsequently purchaser's of this item, should have an even quicker turn-a-round as it relates to install, than I did.

Hopefully y'all enjoyed the few images I could post up for now.

Off to bed good people. :beer:

Looks great. I now see how much easier the install would be with the factory bov setup. Could have saved all kinds of time. Overall still happy with the Tial BOV, but your right that front pipe is a MF!
 
Very nice Mike!  Hopefully, you can make minor mods to the cover to show more of them off. If you didn't have such a fancy cover, you could almost just leave it off.
 
Thanks for the ogleworthy pics, Mike!  I think the cover will look VERY good in place with these new hot pipes, an otherworldly effect if you will.
 
Wow, both sets look great guys, top notch work :bravo: So how about the intial 'seat of the pants' impression??  At the same tune/boost level is it noticeable? A little? A lot?  I am def planning on making a set but I am trying to establish what *order* they are on the mod list.  I have an appointment for my baseline dyno run tomorrow afternoon at GMG motorsports in Costa Mesa. THe plan is to make a pull on the stock tune then load in the 93 performance tune and see what kind of numbers we get. The cat back exhaust should be ready this week then I'll see what kind of gains that has. Likely I'll do one more dyno session after the intercooler upgrade, I'm betting that will show bigger gains than the exhaust. Time will tell :thumb:
