Hi Guys. For your viewing pleasure, here are some images of my Ion + Warp Feed, Intellifeed Mod:

Membrane Pad Mod:
This comes in really handy, because with the warp feed, it becomes a bit more tricky to access the Ion's stock power button.

Power Switch Mod and Intellifeed Link:

The intellifeed link is connected to the solenoid. Each time the solenoid fires, it sends a signal to the warp feed to spin. This is where I soldered the intellifeed connection:

Glad to hear it's working well Saeborne, I'll be soldering up to my SP8 in a couple days. My local airsmith will be helping me out with the soldering and has some great ideas on how to strengthen the connection to the board and how to improve the connection so you don't have to pull the entire cable out through the grip when you remove the board/body from the frame. We'll be putting up a howto/picture guide soon.

I was just thinking about this the other day. So it can be done! I'm exited!

I warped my old Rebel LE back a while ago:

The problem I had (besides the gun was junk) was that the balls would get stuck in the tube with the tube needing to be so long. It might have been because I cut it a little too short and had to stretch it a tad...but it really seemed like it was more the points where I cut it...the jagged edges where the hose met the connectors. Oh well, that gun has been sold and the warp is now part of my Minimag project where I can feed normally and use the stock hose.
