so that is for sure a fake greddy? how bad is it

And how can you mount the intercooler like drilling into it or weld to it???

Weld some mounting brackets onto it. If you drill holes your gonna end up with boost leaks. lol

I promise you its not authentic but the kit looks fine and Im sure it works fine. And its not like the blow off valve is soo entirely complex, like i bet it works and stuff. But just be prepared if someone calls you out on it when your hood is open cause I could tell.

haha i dont give a shit about name brands i just dont want cheap ass shit... i have a 1g bov right now so.

So you can just straight up weld brackets to the intercooler? i thought that it is made out of aluminum and you cant weld to aluminum unless you have an aluminum welder???

Know anybody that can tig weld? All you need is a tig welder and your set to weld them to it.

yeah that one looks like the same as my turbo xs but with a different core. same pipes and everything. but the flange on the pipe looks like a 1g BOV to me.

On that fake greddy BOV the only big differance on those is there is a little gasket in the middle of it....the one on the fake Greddy ones is really cheap and will wear out really quickly...you can replace just the gasket with the real one from greddy...there is a huge write up on it on dsmtuners....

tig welders can weld aluminum whereas mig welders can't.

ill just use jb weld to put the brackets on haha

rock0134 · #28 10-21-2006, 12:54 PM

the flange type of thing that comes off of the turbo and is conected to the stock lower intercooler pipe and goes to the intercooler is pointed to the passenger side which is fine for the stock sidemount... but since the pipe needs to go the other way for the front mount, can that be takes off and switched around???

I dont kno if jb weld would actually hold that good i mean you could try it but if you use the car as an everyday driver i personally wouldnt do it one because its off ebay and you hardly ever get whats pictured and i dont kno if jb weld can hold that much pressure and i doubt it would work as good as a regular weld, one of my buddys baught some crap turbo off there and blew it in like 2 and a half months he was running everythign proper 2 but he was thinking the same way like ill just throw cheap parts on there but go for it let me kno how it works out.
