I've already got the pipes v-banded at the intercooler. I have a racepartsolutions clamp at the tb. I'll just do another racepartsolutions clamp at the blower. I don't need much room for flex. The motor and the blower don't move at all. I have yet to have one belt issue.

I had v-banded the intercooler and did a racepartsolutions flex coupler at the throttlebody. I left the blower connection silicon/T-bolt to allow for movement (if it needed any). It wasn't blowing the tube out of the silicon coupler (rigid mount at the intercooler), but it was stretching the silicon to the point of pushing the t-bolt clamp off. Anyway......that won't happen anymore.

Something is wrong with the site right now. I'm having problems as well.

A few of you already know that we have been working on a solution for a 5-lug conversion for the front with drag brakes. Well that is now done. These kits will fit 99-07 and 08-13 models. It save just a hair over 70 lbs. It'll also allow the use of 15" wheels now with no trouble. If you interested, please contact me for more info.
Here are a few pics:

Any plans for some tubular control arms? The uppers aren't all that bad other than being cast, but those lowers weigh 1.6 metric ****-tons.
