Default will 3 90* bends and a 180* bend be enough for charge pipes?

i want to upgrade my charge pipes from the turbo to the i/c then from the i/c to the passenger side fender well.

my compressor outlet is facing down so i'm thinking that if i get a 90* bend off the compressor to the driver side fender then a 180* bend from that to the intercooler.

then a 90 off the other side of the intercooler then another 90 facing up through the fender well like a cold air intake goes into the piece that i already have that is in the fender well. do you guys think that will work with those pipes and not haveing to weld anything or do you think some will hae to be welded?

sorry if it's confusing i did my best to explain it without any pics.

any help is appreciated. thanks.

Your description sounds like how I have my setup. I have 4-90's 1-180 and 1-45. The 45 is out of the throttle body. You will need some straight piping also since the length of 90's might not be long enough. I'm pretty sure you can go without welding if you use enough couplers but welded piping looks much cleaner to me. Btw, I have 1-45 madrel-bent aluminized steel pipe left over if you want to buy if off me. $12 shipped, paypal verified.

its not that difficult to figure out...honestly. you can even go look at the car and figure it out if you need to. go to jcwhitney they have the measurements of the tubing they sell

If you have access to any type of saw, it would probabaly be cheaper to just buy all 180* U-bends, and just cut them to what you need. If you dont want to deal with that, then your lists sounds like it will be enough.
