Just an important note I'd like to make when plumbing IC piping. Ensure you butt pipes together as close as you possibly can, avoiding too much gap between piping taken up by joiners ie: clamp joins close to each other to eliminate vacuum on joins caused by the sucking action of compressor wheel on the IC, especially with silicone joiners.

If silicone joins suck in too far, effectively narrowing the diameter & thus create a bottle-neck in the flow, this can cause 'boost creep' & resulting increased heat/damage to turbo &/or engine!

Even better! Don't use silicone joiners but heavy duty cotton-threaded rubber hosing
