Where in texas are you located?

Also for the turbo pipes I would recommend hard pipes, as the silicone may not be regid enough and expand or collapse when the car is under boost or vacuum and there is a lower chance of boost leaks.(have seen it happen on different cars with silicone "upgraded" hoses).
Just my 2 cents.

Im up near Amarillo. I'm personally a fan of hard pipes too, I believe the right materials in the right place can help with heat transfer in both directions and silicone doesn't seem like it'd be a front runner in either category. If I did ever offer boost/vacuum hoses I would be sure to add extra layers of reinforcement too, I don't want to cut corners on quality to be able to offer a cheaper part. I'm with you 100% man.

I recommend hard piping too and only use re-enforced silicone hoses for the couplers. Nothing like having a hose blow off at 40+ psi. Will scare the crap out of you. LOL

Something I would like to do is try to offer a few options like an upgraded intercooler/piping/hardware package and also a water to air setup for people after a more serious build along with other smaller bits and pieces to help support more mods. I dont believe that you have to sacrifice reliability for performance.

An IC pipe upgrade will be great as long as the pipe diameter is increased and reducing bends or restrictions on the stock pipes, but by doing that (increasing pipe diameter) you will also be reducing pressure (which is needed to produce power). The true benefit will be gained with a high boost setup with stock turbos or with bigger turbos.
Looking forward to see what the aftermarket scene does for this car.
I myself would not mind being a test mule for some of these projects.

Sorry for being mia, I got an invite to drive in a 24 hour endurance race so I?ve been hitting the training hard. I?m going to sit down and write up a raffle post for here. I think I?m going to limit it to 15 spots with a total of 30 entries. Make it something we can knock out pretty quick.

Yes it?s going to be for everyone, international *may* have to pay a little extra for the shipping but I don?t like to limit who can have what.
