To the OP: who is mentoring you through this build?
Yea really i thought that would be the first thing out of some peoples fingers..
I will be doing turbo as well.. wanted to go hahn level V but am certain i can do it cheaper parting myself.. all i need is the tubing because i have no way of getting pipes bent myself...
Can u let me know how the tubing fits from ebay?

I'm assuming that the OP is going with 'dual cooling'. A-A intercooler, followed by the OEM water cooling. In which case, the Stu mod will simply hold more volume of fluid in the system and prevent minor heat spikes down stream.
looks like he plans to use the stock intake manifold, so maybe he's just trying to get the coolest IAT's possible.
bingo
bingo

Is that a stock SAAB manifold with the wastegate flange welded and a T3 flange welded as well?
Sure looks like it because I just took mine out last weekend.
Not that that's a bad thing, i'm just wondering.

Thanx man
around 320-350 whp just for now, then later on 400 whp will be my goal.
man it took me about 3 months, cuz I was searching, looking, and not rushing.
Thanx man, about 3000$ for everything or thats all can remember lol.
Yea if I ever get to one, me and eric was going to try to do some type of group tune at a near dyno so we will see what happens.
hell yea me too, and did you get those parts yet?
No one homie, I dont need a mentor, thats what research and experience is for, but on the other hand if I have questions then I will ask.
to both of you who said that I wouldnt need the stu mod think again, I obviously want it so I wont have any problems with heat what so ever, I could be sitting at the track in 95 degree weather and be at 90 degree Iat lol. I really just want to stay on the safe side. Bein too cool is never a bad thing.
P.S. I will let you know how the fitting goes with the pipes.
Wow we do still have some intelligence on this site lol.
Thank you, you both deserve a cookie, and I know you know all about cooling ralli, I have read your cooling thread and was very stunned.
Thanx man, hell yea it is and I am going to try and do mostly all of it in 1 day.
Thanx.
Thanx and hell yea I will
Naw, just the supercharger delete kit.
