I've been looking around for a bit and can't locate a solution on HT. What are my options? (T3/T04E and inlinepro on DC2) Thanks

 

Just clock the turbo back a bit.

 

clocking or halfstack

 

run a 90 coupler off the turbo rather than straight coupler

 

See those orange bolts? Loosen them and clock the compressor housing until it shoots straight down.

 

Sorry, should have clarified - the problem was ground clearance. In the picture it looks like a chassis interference, but that's not the case.

Ok, I like the idea of a silicone 90. Hopefully that will have a LOT tighter radius. Too bad I can't locate a 2" to 2.75" reducer elbow, but I'll manage.

 

I had a thought, but it will involve a change in the pipeing. You could cut the piping further down, use your reducer, add a smaller diamiter pipe and use a 2in 90. Little work but I would see it as a viable alternative.

you can have samco make you one, but it will probly cost 65 bucks and take 4 months.
they made me a 3-2" 90* reducing elbow. i ordered it in december, got it like 2 weeks ago. super nice stuff, but it had to be made in the UK or something like that. you might luck out if they have em stocked. id link you but i cant find it.

did you try clocking the turbo back so the inlet is back by the oil pan? that looks like it might give you a few inches? what kind of suspension are you running?

 

i would get a cast aluminum 90, they are much tighter on clearance, pop the compressor cover off and take it to a welder and let him fix er' up

easiest thing to do

 

clock the turbo so that the compressor outlet is facing up toward the hood. Then redirect the piping and cut a whole in your wheel well guards, and keep the charge pipes going until the intercooler
