Well I have an early 99 intercooler (metal ends) pipes and spider pipe coming and have some general questions. One is, who has some good pics and writeups for install? I remember a good one called tims ic page but cant find it. Ive looked at gts' and some on webshots but it couldnt hurt to look at a few more.
Also do you need the heat tape on the hot side?
And what additional "stuff" will I need to make the superduty pipes work? It looks like theyd work pretty good.
Thanks
Dan

Re: need IC install pics/write up and have questions
Thanks for all the great links, Im gonna try to PM tim he had a really good writeup, just wish I could find it now. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif[/img]
And what about the heat wrap on the hot side pipe? Need it, dont need it? That design confuses me anyways, wouldnt you want that on the cold side, cold air stay cold [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif[/img] I know there must be a reason though.
Re: need IC install pics/write up and have questions
Ya don't need the heat wrap. Reading on superduty forums, it sounds like they were put on to reduce noise(whistle) from the turbo. Don't make sense to me to heat wrap a the side your trying to cool????
Re: need IC install pics/write up and have questions
Ok so heat wrap keeps heat in, i thought it kept heat out [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif[/img] still learning [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif[/img]
Re: need IC install pics/write up and have questions
Hey Big Dan!
Got your PM but I see that the guys on the board already got you pointed to my page!
Good luck with the install and I hope the page is helpful! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
God Bless,
TC
