I have the Treadstone complete intercooler piping kit. All i can say is BEAUTIFUL!!! Now I cannot speak for the fitment with the MPX intercooler since I run the TR8 intercooler. Also I do not have stock turbo so my turbo is in a little different position than yours. But I do know that their stuff in very high quality!

Yeah it does looks good...since the mpx sits a little higher idk if there would be an issue...but now i think about it alot of folks installed the mpx i/c on their stock piping sooo i should be good

Were you looking for our zzp upper charge tube without bov flange? I see that it was marked out of stock on the drop-down selection. They are in stock, and I had it changed to reflect this. Thanks for pointing that out.

If you have, or are going to get the Mpx IC, get a set of 2.5" to 2.25" silicone reducers. The outlet on the Mpx IC is smaller than the IC piping. This way you won't have issues popping off couplers under high boost. Also make sure you upgrade to T bolt clamps!

I really wanted to go with ZZP but I drive across country too much and I cant risk breaking the i/c in driving through some funky little town...I know ZZP is willing to repair any damages i/c get and its tempting but Ill will just go the safe route. Mpx will do for my power goals too.

The ZZP IC pipes are great, the top pipe also bolts to the engine so it can't flop around

I also highly recommend the ZZP IC also

Both great parts
