Anyone purchase the intercooler from VIVA ? If so does it come with the install hoses(kit)? or do I have to purchase separate? Can't get response from George!

It is just a core, you will need to source the piping on your own.

EDIT:
George is out of town right now, thus his delayed response. The core is made by Yonaka.

Thank you Bob.
Any idea where I could source piping, maybe local auto zone or something.
Between us , I also found it for $200,( just the core).

There are places to get cores pretty cheap, but that is not the hard part. If you have the time and equipment, you could save a lot of money fabricating the pipes yourself. There is a reason the piping and/or kits cost so much though...they aren't easy to make!

I was going to make an attempt at it while over in Germany when I had access to a full shop and lift, but moving came too quickly and I just let it go. I am going to Phuz's place this Friday for my install http://********************/smile/emthup.gif

yeah I seen phuz has them on his site, a little expensive though, I'm sure I can find them out here for cheaper or have them made.

I wish you luck! Share your results http://********************/smile/emthup.gif

How much dose Phuz charge for install? That could be a fun road trip......

You are going to have to ask him.

He already flew out to Cali one time to do a few installs. Spark enough interest any maybe he would be willing to do it again? The first time they have a bunch of installs scheduled and they all chipped in to buy his ticket. It went well from what I read http://********************/smile/emthup.gif
