I switched over from the copper lines to stainless hard lines with all an connections. The wife drove the car from State College to the Burg to pick me up at that airport last time I was away and one of the copper lines had come off. Worried me so I went this route.

Also a couple pics from a local show ED (mtsman) made it to last weekend.

Old setup

New lines and setup.... note the carbon fiber accents.

Pics from the carshow...

I really liked to copper, but I think it was more the different look it gave. I like these new lines better as well, not to mention they are safer.

Hey Dave, how is that turbo setup going for you? Are you having to adjust the tune all of the time or is it holding pretty well? Congrats on the build, all you need is more HP from here. :twisted:

So far the turbo has treated me great. The tune is extremely rich and I burn through plugs pretty quick, but other than that I have not really had any problems. I am trying to get in contact with a guy near pittsburgh who is a ZZP recommended tuner.

The stainless hardlines look way better than the copper. Nice pics from the car show, BTW.
