I am working to have a set of custom turbo to intercooler and intercooler to throttle body pipes made. I plan on removing the stock blow off valves across the motor and putting a single blow off valve next to the intake in the pipe there.

I can do one set or more if others are interested.
I have no idea of cost yet, just find out if people would want a set made. If I were to guess it would be in the $500 range a set with silicone tubing.

These pipes should fit the SHO/Flex/Explorer Sport all years.

Let me know!

If these will be limited availbility only, I will take some. Otherwise, I need to wait for lawyer stuff to straighten out.

Performance wise? Absolutely nothing. For guys with modded turbo's that running 20+ psi, will keep you from blow hoses and splitting pipes.

I'm interested as well, but I'd be remiss if I failed to mention that I'd really.....

.....and I mean REALLY, desire to have mine in white.

Kind of like these here:

Worst case scenario I can sell you the aluminum bits uncoated and you will have to source your own white silicone pipes if we can't find them. :)
 
As long as they can be shipped via USPS, count me in! UPS / FedEx charge killer cross-border brokerage fees that make using them cost-prohibitive...
 
If the price is right bro, Count me in as well!!!!! Would be cool to get a whole kit, CAI and dot tubes!!!
 
Ohh yea..  I forgot to mention that it would be awesome if they came pre drilled with a hole for the nozzle for us who have the methanol Injection....
 
Better ramp up production real quick, Mike ;)  Any idea re:  shipping?  For our Canadian brethren, stated above that customs/CB frees headache other than with USPS ...
 
No estimates on anything, I need to gauge interest to verify me spending $$$ getting some prototypes made would be worth it.
Next step will be a deposit from those who are interested to help fund the initial work.
 
Bro, I was with you on the DP's, I am with you on the Hot Pipes and the CAI!!!! Let me know what you need!!!
 
I stopped by the shop today, I'll be dropping my car off next week to start the prototype work for the hot pipes and intake. I'm going to get my new fuel pumps installed first so we can remove the fuel cell, fuel pump and fuel lines from the front right of my car.
Should be pretty sweet setup.
I'm looking at offering the following setups for the hot pipes.
1. New hot pipes with no provisions for stock BoV, aftermarket vacuum operated BoV near the throttle body.
2. Same as #1 but with provisions for stock BoVs

For the intake I'm looking at two options:
1. Dual feed intake "box" like stock with an air filter inside - two options here, aluminum ceramic coated lid OR plexiglass lid for those who want to see their filter. I believe the "box" (think stock intake box) should be closed so no hot air can come in. We've seen aftermarket intakes actually lose ET due to the intake filter getting hot air from the engine.
2. Dual feed intake that has a cold air tube that goes into the drivers fender (like my current intake to the stock tubing).

Neither intake will have provisions for the BoV recirc tubes, as an option I can source some factory BoV filters for you to install instead. You want to run EPP Intake system, you gotta hear the psshhhhh! :P

I'm looking forward to getting these products off the ground.
The great thing about getting the new cold air intake is it will have silicone pipes so you can boost leak test the entire intake to manifold without having to do massive amounts of work. I'll provide a boost leak testing kit as an option with appropriate blockoffs.
 
Development ongoing, should be done next week, this is the set that won't have stock BoV but will have an aftermarket one on the intercooler to throttle body pipe




These will be available coated or uncoated your choice. The first sets available will be without provisions for the factory blow off valves and you'll have a provision for an aftermarket one.
We're going to have to machine a provision for the factory BoV to make the factory ones work, that will take a bit longer.
