I'm planning for my upcoming turbo install and was trying to figure out where to run the intercooler piping on the driver side. The only spot I can really see that it would possibly work is through the small hole above the power steering lines. Is this the way to go and would I need to cut some of the metal out? Here's a pic for reference:



I read some other posts where people were going through the windshield washer tank area, but I'd rather keep that if I can.

For those that have made the first method work, could you tell me which angles and size of piping you used? Thanks

 

my buddy ran his IC piping through that hole, and he had to enlarge it.

 

The hole below that one is where the Fmax kit routes through. I'm pretty sure the pipe size is 2" that fits thru there. You are going to have to cut the metal powersteering lines (by the p/s reservoir), remove some metal around that area, and replace the p/s lines with rubber ones. Route the rubber ones in the hole you have marked with the arrow. Make sure to bend your hard a/c lines under the hood also to help give clearance for the IC pipes.

BTW, on my setup, I cut a hole in the driver's side frame and routed my piping where the washer reservoir use to be. I'm running 2.5" all the way from turbo to TB.

 

Thanks guys That gives me a good starting point.
