Just send a private message through eBay and he'll hook you up.
Delivery was stupid fast from Taiwan.

Don't forget to buy t-clamps (I think they are 3" and 2.75") and use blue thread locker for the bung hole screw.

Haven't had any issues with my clips but if you are installing this then I would do it while you have everything off just for peace of mind! But I have ran many WOT pulls and launches without any leaks.

Ya I keep hearing how fast the delivery is
I paid today hopefully I can get it by Monday or Tuesday. Ebay is the best place to get the t clamps ?and I'm still thinking if I should wait to install with a new intercooler. Or is the pipe swap really easy?

I did it with my intercooler install, but no reason why you can't do it separately. Also for those clamps, I would either go to Home Depot or Amazon, not really an eBay item IMO

Yeah I bought one, just odd that it's a little too small, almost like a 3 mm hole.

I believe the kit comes with one o-ring, and then there's another that comes out of the top of OEM chargepipe that needs to be put into the new pipe

Not sure but try sending him a message rather than just an offer.

Still better than FTP website, not sure what other brands are charging but new that's probably the best price.

I got mine shipped to the border for pickup to avoid the fees and it got there by DHL overnight. I don't know how they do that from Taiwan for free. For sure they will hit you with duty, brokerage, and taxes if they use DHL.
