you dont want it too close to the radiator because it could just break it. show us some pictures and we can make suggestions

most likely your radiator is going to break and you are going to have a lot of coolant everywhere. you dont want to wait and see what happens.

Re: Dump Pipe agaisnt Radiator (miketurbohonda)
is this the downpipe or dumtube from the wastegate? if its the downpipe, you can clock the turbo. maybe that will move the downpipe far away enough.

Re: Dump Pipe agaisnt Radiator (miketurbohonda)
when you clock it only the compressor case will move cause exhaust side is bolted to manifold.

Re: Dump Pipe agaisnt Radiator (GSRrR)
The way you have that picture, it is not the dump tube. It is the downpipe, the one that comes directly off the turbine side of the turbo and bolts to your cat (or where the cat should be, if your running a test pipe).

Re: (brryder)
to,
Don't forget about motor movment in the engine bay aswell, you wouldn't want it to breat the RAD. you could use a different Rad aswell maybe 2 smaller ones, depending on what the car is used for. what kind of room is under the bend?
cheers,

Re:
hi
not much room any where but adjusting radiator brackets sounds real good tho.
yeah engine movement how much should i allow for that?
but changing it from 2 1/2" to 1 1/2" thats crazy!!!!

Re: Re: (miketurbohonda)
why not just put a spacer in there in the meantime. wrap it up. try to tilt the radiator more. use a flex pipe and point it elsewhere temporarily. for the love of gawd fix it. i saw someone that had an open dump tube blowing directly on the radiator
