Do you already have a manifold and turbo?

Every setup is gonna be different, but here is a pic of my Revhard kit. Maybe it will give you some ideas on how to route your piping. I like how Revhard welded an elbow on the compressor outlet. That way I just have a short elbow from the turbo to IC inlet and the IC outlet to TB is just that one other pipe. As you can see in the frontal shot my IC sits right on that lower frame. I had to hack away at the center support and cut a huge hole so the IC would go through the front part of the frame.

here are the pics...this was from when I was test fitting all my piping and stuff. And yes I know my radiator is not in the best place. It will be getting replaced in a weeks or so by a radiator that actually fits in the FR tracbar tabs.

Mine goes up from the turbo, into the hole where the windshield fluid tank use to be, around to the intercooler, then up where the stock intake use to go.

It depends on your set up. Intercooler, manifold, turbo, the way the turbo is clocked, etc. You probably won't be able to find something that is a direct fit.

Yeah chances are you wont find something that is a perfect fit. What id recommend you do, is buy some 2.5" U bends, cut and mark the piping into the shape that pipes need to be. I taped the pipes together until i had the piping like i wanted them. Then i had a buddy tig weld them together for me.

U bends


Cut and tape together






After the were welded together


Install on car and go!
