Bigger and more pics can be found here: http://s1222.photobucket.com/albums/...ile%20Uploads/
The radiator hose looks to be a piece of mandrel bent aluminum.
On a side note, I'm amazed at the amount of revisions made to the piping. This is the 4th version of piping that I've seen pics of. I can only imagine that more exist.
EDIT: Also, it looks like you're going to have the same problems with finding a suitable air filter that I am. What are you planning to do to sort that out?

I just don't think I'll be able to find anything that kind of diameter and that sharp of a bend. On the side nearest to the fender, I have about 3/4" of an inch between the turbo inlet and the radiator support.

Awesome. And you're running the ATLP quads.
Looking forward to the dyno.

The problem is that the turbo piping isn't 3". I've got a set of ATLP quads as well, but I'll likely just replace the mid-section with something larger diameter. Once it splits, the dual 2.25" (or whatever it is) piping coming off of the mufflers should be able to handle it from there.

As for the filter on the turbo, rodney is working the issue....

I talked to Rodney earlier, and he had an idea he is going to try. If it works, the quads will stay. Stay tuned. Also, the car should be up and running by this weekend. Rodney will send me a extended video of the tune. Once I receive it, I will post. I'll let Rodney elaborate on details.

^^^lucky bastard
I think at this point the quads or not the quads is not the point...You gotta think performance and to my knowledge a 3'' piping all the way without any restriction would be the best ....for sure if you'll be driving it in the street a muffler (2) would be needed....but then again lol

What do you mean? The J&R intercooler setup has been working fine for over a year now. It's a dual-pass system with ~2.5" piping going in as well as out. As far as I know, it's handled over 600+ hp at the crank.
