Hi all, as title says I've purchased a wellycooler for the car but now struggling to find a decent pipework set up, what are you lot using and what can you recommend?

I'm thinking of using the forge throttle body pipe and forge map sensor pipe so think I'd get away with a universal kit, well I'm hoping I can anyhow, looking for 2.5" pipework

Pic of car with cooler on as I can't wait to get it done lol

I got the welly cooler I also used two 3"to2 1/2" reducer pipes coming off the cooler an bought the universal 2n1/2" pipe kit off flea bay of course it involves a bit of nouse an patience but easy enough I also just bodged a map sensor hole using the old bit off the old intercooler an abit of JB weld an as for the boost solenoid and dump Valve I cut the old nipples off the old boost pipe an welded an JB welded (for air tightness)them into the 2n1/2" pipe an I'm now running a healthy 280 bhp an 309ftlb with zero leaks [B)]

It won't let me post links because I haven't done 15 posts so here is a ebay number

Something like that you want nothing less than 2.5 inch as it will choke your bhp on anything more than 240 250 bhp an nothing more as it will induce lag with are little hair dryer turbos
 
Thanks bud I know about the 2.5 pipework just couldn't think what kit would be best

This is what the gurus like welly tufty ect use you will need to cut the pipes an it is trial an error just remember measure twice an cut once try an keep as many of the beads on the end of the piping as you can an get some decent julies clips miklor seems to be what people prefer where are you from
