Finished welding up my a2a air tubing today! I had to make a simple bracket holding my piping to tb. Its very sturdy now! It was constantly blowing before! I hope this was the fix? From what little I have drove, seems to definetely improved the power out put. Ive got boost set at 18lbs with the manual boost valve + just installed the ATR STRIP CHIP. Also I run 1 gallon of TORCO accelerator to a fill up. This stough works great. Comes out to 107 oct when mixed with 93 and this qty,. My Fuel preasure is set at 50lbs with line off/ idle.. Im hoping to run some 7.70s 1/8th when I go to the strip next week! Maybe a little better?? who knows? Only thing left to do is remove the lower intercooler and hoses!!

Re: Finished my a2a Intercooler!!

careful, those little screws are not strong at all. I would try something different or combine all the screws or a different location. other than that looks killer!

Looks good, nice works on the A2A. Are you running the stock turbo still? Looks like it to me in the picture but what the hell do I know.....:tup:

Re: Finished my a2a Intercooler!!

I just test drove it and all I can say is wow! It hit 15lbs almost instantly! I ran it up to 90 without anything going boom. I need to dial it up a little more to get 18lbs! Ive learned you gotta be real careful with the manual boost valve!!!! I hate every time I have to mess with it! But with the manual valve, boost builds incredibly fast!!! I would never go back to the factory solonoid. I also ended up wrapping the other intercooler pipe going into the tb. The pipe above the turbo was getting pretty warm from heat soke! I used the cool it mat and insulation silver duct tape. You can hold on to the turbo outlet hose with this stough on it after a drive ! Should do away with the heat soke on the int tubing. All in all im very happy how it turned out! Truck is very fast for the mods done! I believe its could do a very low 12 qtr! Hell it trapped at 86mph 1/8th with the old KB chip I had in it and a2w. The Sy feels like it picked up another 50HP with the a2a int and the atr strip chip! This is my butt telling me this, who knows if its lying? I will post some videos/ timeslips soon (1st Sep) when I get to the track ! Wish me luck!:D

Looks real nice man. I went through the tubes popping apart when i first got mine together. I went to a higher quality t-bolt clamp set. After i worked all the bugs out of mineits awesome. Definate noticeable power increase.

I like where you put the battery. Did you rig that up? What battery is that? It looks a lot smaller than original, but I like the look of it there because you can still get to it easily.
