installation isn't a problem. Its lack of resources. If I could I would bend/weld/fabricate all the pieces myself, but I don't have the equiptment. I have seen some of these swaps were the person got most of the gtx i.c. piping and the project looked very clean and nice. The problem why I need one is because the piece of pipe that connected the bov was crushed due to high tension t-bolt clamps. If anyone has a stock gtx pipe or is upgrading there pipes please let me know.Too bad I have AWD and you don't!

All that I am saying is that you don't need fancy equipment. If you have a hack-saw you can do it yourself. Granted you allready have ordered at least one U-bend. Thats probably all you'd need and Three silicone connectors, and ~ 6 clamps.
The pice you are needing is the one that is posted in the Vacum problem thread right? If so one U-bend will do you just fine. The only thing you'd have to worry about is putting the other hose on the tube, which is covered in mazdaracers intake how-to on his website.Last edited by Tweeaks; 08-13-2004, 02:55 PM.

Yah thts the pipe I need. So why would I need the U bend? That bend is to go into the i.c.. Coming out of it I used a 90 and a 45. I angled the 45 up to the throttle body. And by the way you now have 666 posts. I was using a pice of hard plastic piping to connect the 45 and the silicone hose. That made it easy to drill a hole for the bov and the line for the wastegate. But the plastic couldn't hold the pressure from the clamp and it leaks under boost. I have decide to make a new piece using aluminum tubing.I will install it tomorrow.Too bad I have AWD and you don't!
