I've been shopping around for couplers myself. Here are some sites that I found last night, always looking for the best price!

Thanks guys.

I have 9, I am having welder to wield a few sections, so I can reduce the # of couplers down to 5 or 6.

Humb coupler is great idea, I will pick up a few for sections that are not perfectly straight. I believe they also reduce the chance of couplers getting ripped.

i have 4, each side of the ic piping is two-piece. 2.5in piping on the hot side and 3in on the cold. I was going to make the piping one piece, which would eliminate 2, but there is just too much pipe on our cars. There are also obviously 2 couplings on the ic. I would really recommend tbolts for even the mildest setup, couplings blowing off can get really annoying.

:bowdown: you are awsome, I wish I have just 4. I be happy if I can just reduce the number of couplers from 9 to 6. I have 5 couplers from turbo to IC and 4 from IC to intake manifold. Not pretty.

Id reccomend welding as much as possible, shouldnt be too bad depending on how the piping is routed. I personally dont like the turbonetics/fmax method. Heres a couple shots of how we routed my piping. The bov is located on the 3in piece in second picture.

That is simply work of art. My is completely opposite.

I just found 1 more coupler on the driver side, so total of 10 so far, 5 on cold side, five on hot side.
