^ he dusnt need a cooler ? if your handy with a welder its simple as to make piping, just make sure you use alloy, or stainless steel. mild steel will rust, stanless is the next easiest to work with. just get a few bends and some straight pipe in whatever sizes you need from a exhaust place and weld em together. once youve made a section, fill it with water to find any leaks.

just adding to this thread. iv got a front mount and a forward facing plenum. the gktech system is for the normal plenum and wont suit mine am i correct? and can i just source out bits and pieces of pipe and make my own system without cutting holes etc.

Its a piece of cake. Just work out where you are going to run the piping, measure it all up, work out what bends and silicon you need and you'll be set. Use 2.5" on the turbo side and 3" on the plenum side. You will struggle to run the piping to a front facing plenum with no holes though
