Here's the 1/8" NPT billet alum. weld bung that we had to produced since the ones on the market were too deep and prevented the WMI nozzle from spraying out properly. This bung will come pre-welded on our Ptuning ss turbokit's upper intercooler piping with a plug, so that you can easily mount the WMI nozzle from our pnp WMI injection kit without having to modify the ptuning intercooler piping.
Here's the billet aluminum FPR bypass plug that we made that will be included with our SS competition return-style fuel system that will be released after our SS turbokit is released. This along with our fuel rail, fpr, and return-style fuel system will resolve all the fueling issues everyone seems to be experiencing once you start hitting the ~300whp mark and above.

Correct me if im wrong, not exactly sure what the thing im tryin to describe is called but the "intake" sits pretty low like a CAI. This turbo kit would not be ideal for a climate that is prone to rain and snow right?

What's the fun of having a turbo kit in an area that does nothing but rain and snow all the time anyway.
Buuuuuutttt...to get to where you were going. For water to get to your motor, it would have to first
- Be sucked up into the filter
- Squeeze past the turbine blades that are spinning at Motorcycle RPM speeds
- Survive the 2000+ degree temperatures of the turbine housing that's constantly getting K's of degrees worth of exhaust gases
- Survive the long haul through the intercooler piping
- Survive through the intercooler
- and travel all the way up the charge pipe and into the throttle body
- And be in a large enough amount of water to hydro lock your motor.
Don't see any of that happening....
Intake on a turbo is not the same as a CAI on a N/A'ed car.Just try not converting your tC into a hover craft, cause that's about the only way your going to do water damage.
thank you master travis for your words of wisdom

Travis, the air doesn't go through the turbine side of the turbo.. it goes through the compressor side, and when air is compressed, it gets hotter... but it's not flowing through 2000+ degrees... that's the exhaust side of the turbo... and you'll be in BIG trouble if your hotside is anywhere near 2000 degrees... the exhaust gases should be around 1500deg at that point.
yeah but still still a long way for the water cause hydralock, a lil puddle of water prolly might just give you a huge water injector with some mud with it lol.. and the ptuning air filter is not that low

I wasn't being technical. I'm aware of where the air ACTUALLY goes. Point is, it's not getting water in the motor. That's the message I was trying to get across.

The downpipe comes with the necessary ss flex section to allow the engine to torque properly without breaking the exhaust system or manifold. The dowpipe utilizes ss v-band connections just like our exhaust system and will bolt directly to our 3" Ptuning exhaust system (either s-back or turbo-back) with no modifications. The bends and straights are perfect, and fits like a glove with zero clearance issues. The downpipe comes with 3 SS O2 bungs; one for the front factory O2, one for the rear factory O2 and a third for an aftermarket wideband O2 sensor/gauge (also comes with a O2 plug if not used).
In addition, we have decided to offer the 6061 Aluminum Intercooler piping and CAI Intake tubings in 3 color scheme:
Time Attack Red (Same textured powder coating color as our TA tc)
Stealth Black (Textured powder coating)
Super Polished (Mirror Polished aluminum)
We will post final pics of the intercooler piping in the various colors before we ship out all pre-orders so that you can make your decision then.

My understanding is...the pipe you were just looking at...IS...part of the existing 3 inch TBE. There is a flex section right there.
