Also in terms of the raffle, either we all won't know until we show up, or view the RX-8 forum which I linked too see if there is anymore info on it on their bbq thread.

any one know of a somewhat local shop to me that will weld my intercooler piping? i just got back from CMJ performance in addison and they told me 450bux... i couldnt help but laugh at him. i need like mayb a foot or so pipin off the charge pipe through the mouse hole and then another 6in of piping on the other side and like 6 or 7 welds..

oh and 1 pipe need a slight bend in it.. i was thinkin mayb 200-300 tops.
one of my mechanic friends said to go to APG in bensenville cuz he was thinkin about 250 for the IC pipes..

[FE3-323]

depends what type of metal the piping is. but usually any exhaust shop can do it for you

[sanblaster1]

I will see you guys tomorrow around 2.

its just cheap ebay aluminum... and most of the shops i seemto talk to wont weld the aluminum.. and like i said the one i went to 2day told me a freakin outrageous price.. i guess ill keep looking around.. it will be a few weeks ill go to napa tomarrow and see if i can find a better coupler..

the one thats blowin off is the one after the turbo that connects an L bend to the pipe i had welded to the flange..and its not like the couplers are goin bad its just sliding off the pipe.. mayb a bigger coupler better clamps and some tape if its still needed

[FE3-323]

just needs a bead put on the pipe it sounds like

how long after i left did chris get there i really wanted to meet another local

i made it all the way home with out any problems.. till i was coming down my block and decided to see how much boost i could get b4 popping another coupler.. i got up to 7.9psi in 3rd yay for me.. it being colder tonight helped it hold better i think.
i charged my computer at work and datalogged the whole way home.. analyzed the table and all the cells it used got richened up cept for one oddball one right in the middle of the table.. ill c 2marrow if it helps me out in accel and decel.
