I had mine done at Totally Custom... just checked the dudes site, and sure enough he's put the pic i sent him up... 8) :lol:
http://www.totallycustom.co.uk/fabrication.html :oops:
It was the first one he did and have to say it's a top job with no prob's to report. I had already fitted the IC and relocated the washer and battery. He did me discount for a starting promo price, but can't see it being too much (200-250 :?: )... i had no prob's, he got me a car for overnight, sorted 8)

I have read one slightly negative report ref his time keeping but that's about it. :?

Im doing the install at the moment. Ive cut the 80mm entry and exit pipes back square and rewelded.Then I had two 80mm to 60mm hose aluminium reducers made and welded to the intercooler.Proalloy will make pipework to your requirements and swage the ends you can also buy blue hose also :wink:

Try and keep the samco's to a minimum,cos they're about 30 quid each,and you dont want it looking like a forge kit (joke).
Also, if you havent already got a strut brace, but want one in the future, get one before you fit the ic pipework, i didnt, and now i cant get a strut brace to fit :oops: :evil:
If you do the hot outlet similar to mine, (or a forge i guess?) you might have to move your oil separator thingy.
Also, if you keep the air con rad, you might have to move/modify the powersteering cooler, i just cut and bent mine straight, and fitted longer hoses to it.
And like Veilside said, there's not a lot of room behind the bumper, but it should just about fit :D
Good luck m8 :wink:

i swear i replied to this post earlier!! ive used 63mm mild steel tube and samco joiners for now,the idea of that tubing was it was only 12 quid so im quite happy to chop it up for that kind of price.now ive got it all in ill get it made in ally or stainless.only thing i found with making your own pipe run is youve got to commit to doin it no half jobs!! oh and safety first i put meself in hospital i was sawing a bracket then sawed me finga :lol: :lol: :lol: wasnt funny at the time tho :cry:

most of the pipe work came with the greddy r33 kit, i chopped and welded it, and added a few bits of straight pipe that i pinched off mikey :wink:
the welding cost me a bottle of whiskey, cos my brother was owed a favour, dunno how much it would cost otherwise, although if you do all the cutting and work out exactlly how/where to weld it, i shouldnt think it would be too dear (for cash :wink: )
btw, you could probably do a better pipe run than mine, i did it like that to avoid the a/c piping
