I think which ever way uses less pipe is the best, on my DA im going to use the backdoor style intercooler which will get rid of the whole drivers side set of pipe. are you looking to make your own or buy premade piping?

there are no kits avaliable for the DA, u gotta make ur own and where the wiper fluid is good or u can get a intercooler with both piping coming out of the passenger side and that will work also

Here is how I did mine. The other side isn't hooked up in the pic but it goes right next to the radiator like the other side.

the drag kit is the worse pipping kit ever. it goes all over the place off the turbo, then it goes to the passenger fender well up front. aboeve the itnerooler all the way tyo driver side. then into itnercooler then back aroudn thru passenger fender then to TB. No thanks

I agree, I had the Drag DA kit and the piping just sucked, not knocking on IP as Ben is the man, but the drag piping could use a major overhaul.

i personally think if you run it through the washer res, then it would look cleaner. but if you dont care about how it looks, then find the shortest route. either way a boosted DA is a very beatuifull thing to see!

I ran mine through the hole on the drivers side...get yourself 7 90 degree bends and a 180 degree just incase you need a real curve....i used 7 90's total on my setup. you'll be forced to ditch your washer fluid and A/C though. Ive seen people keep the washer fluid but just got in the way for me.

Nick, you remember that muffler shop that I was telling you about? The one that's doing mine? Well, I got the first half done (from the TB to the intercooler) and it's clean as hell. We are doing the second half probably this Tuesday. He is welding the oil pan, bov flange, and all the piping for only like $60. You can't beat that and not have to use any extra couplers! Hit me up on AIM if you got any more questions.
