I used a 3 inch 90 degree silicone elbow, 3 inch u bend, and then a filter. The silicone coupling goes onto the turbo, then the u bend connects to the coupling and hangs over the radiator hoses like the filters on the Greddy/Drag kits.

 

but what about the cable in the way?, lets see some pics...

 

Sorry I don't have a digi cam. But the cable doesn't get in the way. Although depending on how long the silicone coupling is, you might have to trim a little bit off the end that connects to the compressor.

 

how does it not get in the way?.. i dont understand... the cable/line is 1 inch directly next to the turbine wheel...

 

bend it away. i just bent the clutch hardlines back toward the tranny. it helps if u have a pusher fan IN FRONT of the radiator too..

krazy

 

Try mounting the turbo with the compressor side on the drivers side. But if you do this then you'll have to get your downpipe modified.

Thats what i did. You will lose P/S and have to make a new DP...I just fabricated my own 3" downpipe.

 

just get a little creative. I had no real problems getting it to fit.
I don't have to go through the trouble of mounting the turbo in a whole new way, just get the pipe to angle up before it reaches the clutch line.

I don't know if one car might be different from the other SI, but I didn't have any problems getting it to fit at all.








Sorry I don't have pics of under it, it's not really easy to get the camera under that part.

 

Another thing of why mine might fit is I have a different size turbo, you said your is a 57 trim and a .63 a/r right?

Mine is a .60 Comp and .48 A/R. I don't know how much of a size difference on the outside there is if any.

 

i think my housing is a bit lower than yours so its directly next to the clutch hardline.. anyhow.. hopefully i can figure somethin, but i gotta shave more of the block to get clearance to fit a hose on there

 

back to top for more help.. i still dont have a filter

 

did i mention whoever can get it to work will get money
