The inter-cooler on the roof idea is the greatest!

Sort of... I dunno if you saw the compressor housing I picked up or not. inlet will be 2.21 outlet is 1.9

Turbo Compressor Housing T518Z SUBARU TD05H TD06 20G | eBay


So I'm going to attempt to make my own pipe work and bend it myself. Mainly because I want to learn how to do it.

Luckily the inlet pipe is around the same diameter.

A harbor freight pipe bender, packing the tube with sand to remove the possibility of crinkles.

Seems like the best option.

I just found this one as well.. wont for for 3" pipe but for the 2" it'll do well.

If I can find one with a 2.5 and 3" die I'll be happy.
