OK, you see the black rubber hose coming up from the intercooler between your nice polished intake manifold and the new cold air intake? Well, AMX1397 and 03baggedturbo (Jim and Adam respectively) make a hard pipe with silicon rubber "connectors." What does this do? The stock hose tends to ballon under high boost levels, so your intake doesn't get all the boost the turbo is producing. With the turbo upcharge pipe, there is no balloning. You will immediately feel alot of lower to mid range grunt, and the jump from 60mph to 100mph is incredible! I have Jim's pipe and it's probably the best thing to do besides Stage 1. Jim's pipe is polished steel, while you can get Adam's in numerous colors and now in 2 different styles. Jim is no longer making his pipe, but may do it if you ask him, as he will do it for certain people. Here are their websites so you can see their products.

Email me, or call me if you need more info.
PTurbed: I originally brought Jim's UCP mainly for looks and alittle performance gain. What I got was looks and alot of performance gain! I can tell you it is definately worth it!
