Is it worth creating a LICP from muffler pipe for a SMIC?
I have a Buschur UICP, thought a steel lower would help clean up the flow. -------------------- 92 Eagle Talon TSI AWD "The Black Golfball" How fast can a 14B go???

Not nearly as much as the UICP. The stock upper piece is much smaller than the throttle body and 2G elbow so an aftermarket one helps clear the restriction.
The stock lower pipe though is the same size as the turbo outlet and intercooler inlet so not nearly as much of a restriction. The steel might allow for a little less expansion and a slightly lower friction surface though. Daryl's right that the stock in/outs of the stock intercooler are going to be a bigger restriction than the LICP at this point most likely. How much boost are you running currently and do you have fuel and exhaust mods done already? -------------------- |
