D1SC owners, what piping did you use from the blower to the elbow??

Temps I'm not really concerned with. (don't know the exact ones from the dyno either). The methanol injection should cool it down plenty this year.

Thanks for the info!

The elbow you have is the ATI piece, but it's nearly identical to the Trick Flow piece I have. Here's a pic of mine, but notice I don't have the ABS. My setup won't fit on your car.

Ponyhntr - What did you do about IAT grommet on the Trick flow elbow? I would assume under heavy boost the the IAT would get blown out since its only a push in rubber grommet?

I still use the push-in grommet, but I'm only running 5-6 psi. ATI's version of this has a screw-in plastic fitting that houses the IAT element.

I have the ATI piece however its the older intake elbow thats a bit longer. I was debating on whether to cut the pipe short, weld over the "procharger" logo and sand it smooth to be chromed or just get a new elbow out right and have it chromed.

Yeah, that one is only 3" on the inlet side. ATI's new one is 3.5".
