TPI Closeups
Anybody have any clean or artistic pictures of the TPI setup.

Im thinking of drawing one that looks like its inhaling. Possibly for a tattoo, or a shirt.

Im not that good at drawing so if I look at it, itll be much better.

1200* Ceramic paint in Aluminum. If you don't clear coat the parts the final finish is VERY close to the stock aluminum finish.

The plenum and valve covers are painted on my car, but the AS&M SS runners are in their natural bead blasted finish.

My old TPI setup.
Looks like a big insect with large feelers on it,


EDIT: I am trying to find the original file so that I can crop it so that the TPI portion is larger.

Hey, you wouldn't happen to have some pics of the other side of that bad boy would you? I need some pics of the AIR tubes and their related plumbing for my wife's car. We've got Corvette exhaust manifolds on it and I can't figure out how to route all of the plumbing.

No I don't have the base. All I really need is to see what the passenger side rear air tube hooks up to. After that, I'll be able to merge it with the F-body air pump. I'm not putting that motor in an F-body, it is actually going into a 74 Datsun 260Z. I used the Vette manifolds for clearance, ease of hook-up (center dump), already had the AIR, because they cleared the knock sensor (the block huggers I had before didn't) and because they cost me $35 for both.
