JDL Turbo Kit with no intercooler or charge pipe
 
i am looking into getting a jdl turbo kit but it does not include the intercooler charge pipe or piping for the intercooler.

Where can i get an intercooler and piping that would be compatible with this kit fitment wise and other things working perfectly.

Let me know would like something not too expensive as well.

One other question is if the downpipe is dented a bit would that be bad for the boost / turbo?

If it isn't new from JDL GFL hoping that's legit.
Why not ask JDL directly for the parts you are missing?
As for the "dent" probably not at all. A hot spot? Maybe.

The generic FMIC kits for our car will likely be close enough to fit. I was able to make 3 different eBay FMIC intercoolers work with the JDL piping, it's just couplers and clamps that may vary. I'm not suggesting ANY of them will be a perfect fit, since your choice and turbo and its outlet are dictated mostly by the manifold's outlet flange placement and the turbo CHRA width, as well as the size of the compressor housing on the turbo and its own outlet.



Example- If you get some JDL hot parts kit and buy an eBay GT35 that has a 2.5 outlet and an old CHRA copy that is wider than normal, your turbo is not going to sit in the spot the turbo hot parts manufacturer (JDL) anticipated, and it's going to be "off" for fitment on anything anticipated to line up with the turbo position (including the downpipe).



It's best to buy buy it all in one go. I promise. I've had first hand experience on every facet of this, with this platform. I should've just bought everything from Jesse, the way I wanted it, the very first time.
