I've done that for most of the plumbing. At the intercooler there's a 1/8 in diameter difference (the cooler dia is 1/8 in larger). It's too tight to use mandrel bends. I may end up relocating the inlet/outlet on the intercooler to straighten up the plumbing. If I do so, I'll also use a 1.5 in inlet outlet. Gotta go talk to the welder first. -d >From: GD <hpbygd@ix.netcom.com> >To: darin ginther <d_ginther@hotmail.com> >Subject: Re: [turbobike] I need some small turbo plumbings...
