Spearco Retrofit Intercooler Help!

Wondering if anyone else out there has put this unit on their rig, and if so, how and where do I get the intercooler boots that are long enough to bolt the piping up to the Y-pipe? I called Spearco and haven't heard back, and I can't get through to the gents at Black Widow Diesel. Thanks in advance for any help offered.....

Kevin

You need to get a hold of Brian because the Spearco Retofit CAC is supposed to come with a spacer pipe and the two intercooler boots. You also need to make sure your spacing is correct because I've heard the retro will rub the radiator.

Thanks for the pics Brian!

Thanks for the tip Rampage, the fit is so tight. I can't get the crossmember to bolt up correctly if I push the IC much farther forward from the radiator. I hope the 2ish mm space is enough, I can't see how the crossmember would bolt up if I push the IC forward more.

Now that I know how the cold side boots fit, working on the hot side. I need a boot 7.5 inches long that I can kink about 15* or so. No part stores near here carry 3" I.D. silicone hose. And the stuff they can order that is 35psi rated comes 6"(too short) or 3ft for $210(no thanks).

I think if I had two more 3" silicone hump hoses and the stainless connector identical to the ones supplied for the cold side, I could rig up a boot to make the bend. Turbonetics is out of stock, and it looks like they expect more in early Sept. Anyone know where I could find these type of items?
