a little bit restrictive / ugly for such a nice car otherwise :/
Exactly. New DP required.

I know that you've got some cash into both the elbow and HKS DP, but a better DP would seriously open that restriction up.

I used to have a HKS DP and a SS turbo elbow so I know from experience that it was a mistake. I'll be ordering a SP61GT-compatible DDP right quick, which will be the third DP I will have used.

heh, I always hated the fact that HKS DP had that restriction, but that is a genuine HKS DP, no welding. I just had the wide band bung welded onto it, hence the pic.

I plan on ditching the entire setup including the current HKS sport turbo and stock mani, and switch to something else completely. So I didn't want to buy a new DP that may not fit whatever I end up switching to.

Thanks for the comments though, I know it needs to go!

Those are the pipes that come in the HKS intercooler kit, which were then ceramic coated. Couplers (and all the vac lines) came from hightempsilicone, in the vendor section.
