Laguna FMIC Pipework

[sirjimalot]

Im trying to organise a Laguna fmic, i have read the guide and seen a few pictures of peoples done,

I cant justify spending £100 for Reducers and bends etc.

So i was wondering if anyone had re-routed the pipework, something like the 225 routing,

Im debating getting a tube bender and attempting a 1-piece from intercooler to turbo pipe, and a 1-piece from intercooler to inlet pipe or something similar,

That's unfortunately the case with intercoolers. The pipework is very expensive also.

Yeah i know, im just thinking about it is all, i mean i could use brand new exhaust pipe which costs next to nothing, because i dont want shiny pipes anyways, i just want them to be satin black.

Still a lot cheaper than buying a pipe bender that would do something up to 2.5" tho?

12Ton Hydraulic bender £80 new, Bends upto 3 inch pipe. And i would like to extend the rollcage, and make some new heavy duty bumpers on my SJ too so would come in very handy!

Thought about that Chris, but i fancy something with no real joins in it, just for something different, Similar to the Lambo Green mk3 20VT Golf that was in Performance Vw a few months ago

all you need to do to have no joining hoses is once every thing is cut right is to have it tig welded up that is what im doing plus that is what was done in the piccy
