new couplers for hahn charge pipes
X2....... Can anyone give us a idea of how many and which couplers would put us in the right direction with doing a DIY charge piping setup? And specify if it's for a lk9 manifold or Hahn/ttr style intake manifold
.
Well you guys were talking about that website and I thought I could get some quick insight. Already know about zzp's charge piping kit, but looking at that site seems you can easily piece a kit together for half the price.
Meh, couplers are expensive imo. I've prob spent 100-200 on couplers alone since you have to get reducers bends etc. Also a headache to make it fit and like I said looks like ****. ZZP's has 2 visible couplers in the bay one off the compressor housing and one onto the lk9. Clean and simple.

More couplers mean more chances for leaks. It's best to reduce down to as few couplers as possible. Stick with the pre-made piping kits.

Sorry for the thread jack op, I'm done now
orrrrrrrrrrr just buy zzp's complete turbo kit for lsj instead of thinking fk zzp im a cheap bastard and i can do it for 2k less!......not gonna happen unless you're using sub par components.
Oooooo ic keep forgetting fitment with the red lines is a little off. Thanks for the advice though
yea my suggestion to anyone who never dealt with a turbo setup before is get the zzp complete kit and when you put it together and understand how everything now works change parts out and make it "your own" if you feel necessary. it's not too hard of concepts just takes a lil bit to get your head wrapped around everything lol if you have any questions or anything you can always pm me an ask.
