Many months back Newt said he forgot to ship a couple silicone connectors/couplers and according to him he tried to ship them but they were returned by UPMS. Whatever. I am installing the cold side at this time and noticed (I think two) couplers are missing, and the ones that I have, the sizes seem wrong. Half of my cold side is a different size and I wanted to see if this was your case with your kit too. So if the white88pony, jtrmanator, hld-tyt, notch 88, and others who have Quicktime could help me out I would greatly appreciate it.
I have about 6 pictures to hopefully clarify my problem so bear with me.
Pic 03 shows where I am at on the Notch. Pic 09 shows the couplers. These are all the couplers I recieved with my kit. The two transitions are for the MAF, the next one to the right is smaller than the rest. It mated up the two cold side pieces that run from the turbo, down and infront of the RADIATOR and connect to the air to air intercooler from the driver's side.
Now this cold side tubing is much smaller than the inlet of the intercooler. Was there suppost to be another transition connector for this? Or is this suppost to be 3 inch also like the cold (see pic 1c) side coming off of the throttle body, down the passenger side fender and into the MAF? See Pic. 15.
The next coupler in pic 09 connects the outlet of the intercooler to the larger elbow going up to the MAF and onto the throttle body, and the last connector goes from the throttle body to the first cold side section going down to the MAF. Everyone with me so far? Yeah I know.
Last but not least is this beauty. Looks like I am missing another transition connector. Coming from the turbo to the small cold side that goes infront of the radiator. See pic. 017 & 018.
Okay so to make a long question even longer, is half of my cold side the wrong size and am I missing two transition connectors?
Thanks for your time.
