the XS Power i/c is from ebay, i have the same one. They supply i/c piping, but not the lower for some stupid reason. i managed to use the oem evo viii pipes and make it work, but it takes time and some "trimming" of piping to make it work.

Problem is that the upper they give you doesn't fit with other lowers as it was made for oem replacement and most others are full replacement. Though, the lower fitment issue has nothing to do with the turbo kit you're running since the lower is between the i/c and upper and therefore does not need to connect to the turbo in any way, so I don't really see the problem here.

Any LICP pipe you buy in the after market (If not from a turbo kit) is going to be for fitting it to the stock turbine outlet pipe and IC inlet.

Just go to a performance shop and get a piece of stainless bent up Call it a day

dude this reallly isnt a problem anyone online can help you with. you just need to get the correct piping and fab a licp. if your piecing together your own kit what did you expect? it wont require anything more than a 180 bend and ruffly a 90 bend and 3 couplers.
