[the t3d]

i did some searching but couldn't really find what i was looking for. but yea...these things are on ebay but do look alittle bit better constructed than the cooleeze pipes. so i'm just lookin for some feedback on this


thanks

howabout a link to the ebay posting?

 

[hvyman]

theres no pressure yet so as long as it doesnt link it should be fine

935 was selling those, probably still are i heard the fitment was fine except that it aimed more toward the radiator

The cooleeze pipe is garbage -- have to angle the coupler on the turbo just so, force, wrench, etc. to fit it in place...and has to be juuuuuust right, or it hits on the PS reservoir bracket....I went back to the accordion tube last time I was workin' on the car....too much hassle with that cooleeze pipe.

I bought same pipe off ebay. Wouldnt fit on turbo straight cuz it hits power steering resovoir. I was dissatisfied with it enough that i returned it. would not reccomend.

 

[the t3d]

yea i was wondering about it hitting the PS res. what other pipes out there that fit better?

You should just try and find some one that will make one for you. I have one that I had made that is a 3" 45* pipe and bought a 1/2" pipe at Ace hardware and had some one weld it up for me cost me a total of $65 with coupler and welding. I moved my PS reservoir to the front by my IC though.

 

[the t3d]

do you have a pic of how you mounted your PS reservoir? i'm curious


-t3d

 

[giterboosted]

me too bout that ps res move

 

[the t3d]

so, it probably wouldn't be that bad if you just relocated the reservoir. hmmmmmm.....

thats not a cooleeze pipe it may be a knock off of it or something i know 935 was just calling the piece a "china man" product like the exhaust and that ddp

fitment always seems to be a concern on those kind of things

and relocating the ps reservoir might make it ok like the t3d said

I know the one posted by the OP isn't a Cooleeze, but I've got a Cooleeze...and it fits like shit...lol. I am curious about this PS res move as well, since I'm about ready to yank my motor anyway....:sarcasm:

 

[frontierguy25]

I'll post up some pics later today.

 

[RazoE]

depending on your IC pipes, one could switch over to an N/A PS reservoir..

N/A Resevoir with 3" stainless pipe, way cleaner than trying to move the turbo resevoir, although if your IC pipes run through the snorkle hole it wouldn't fit without modification:

 

[the t3d]

yea that's very clean. i like it, but it's gonna be ALOT easier if you have a FFIM. if you don't, like most of us, you have to worry about the intercooler piping =0(


-t3d

 

[SUPRASTEVE]

Yeah I agree with Td3 very nice indeed but without that FFIM it's a lil more difficult to get proper upper IC pipes. I'm my case I am never satified with anything so I am probably going to have mine custom made.

+1 on the Cooleeze pipe fitting like garbage. The bead lips are crappy and if you don't have it just right, it'll slip off.
