I would put a brace on your air tube as I'll bet it will blow off on one of your first 50psi blast. I would put the brace at or near the tube to one of your turbos. You might want to consider using slightly longer intercooler hose and double clamp the hose. How are you planning on running the air tube off the 35 to your intercooler? Looks like your gonna have to put some funky bends into it to get it to fit.

Not to mention how the heck is he gonna get fresh CLEAN air to that 'S400'?! Is that a schwitzer 4LE series turbo?

Its looking great cyric! It will deffinately be a very unique piping set! How are you going to run the air into the bottom turbo? I think it looks clean, and once everything is finished up it will be a very sweet setup. I would be halfway done with my cold piping for my twins but the gosh dang weather around here is horrible right now So I'm forced to just sit here and wait till the rain starts clearing up... lol.

Again though great job man!

Looks good! When you get to the fine tuning stage, you might consider a TAG to compensate for that tight turn into the 35 inlet. Will improve flow a lot! JMO

I got the intake tube tacked up today and I think I figured out the pipe to the intercooler, but off course I need another tubing bend that I dont have. I had to quit it got to cold and I don't have a garage yet. I just wanted to keep this updated.

You should be able to get it from any truck shop or NAPA.

I got most of my bends from Summit. I checked at my local Napa and their bends weren't mandrel bent. The bends from Summit were arond $25 a piece on average and are 14 gauge aluminized.

Just a thought off of the top of my head , might help to make things a little less congested looking , But what about moving the battery back to where the stock airbox was , and putting the intake where the battery currently is?
