Default D16y8 IC piping conflicts with washer fluid bottle... OPINIONS???

HI
I'm running a soon-to-be boosted d16y8 '95 EG Sedan, and my IC piping from my turbo to IC inlet is a pretty tight fit. I have 2.5" piping and it seems that there is no way around eliminating my washer bottle to nicely fit my piping.
I've seen other guys buy a generic bottle and relocate it, but i've also seen pics of factory bottles being used on the same application. Anyone have this issue, and if so, what did you do?
I think i may just eliminate it, but if anyone has any ideas i would love to hear them!!

I eliminated mine.. but you could cut in in half, Take a chunk out of the middle, and re-melt it together.

in my crx, i removed the reservoir, and had to cut a hole in the frame for the charge pipe, the could have been a better alternative but that was the easiest. just wash your car everyother day and youll be fine

My washer fluid reservoir is gone...not for any logical reason really. I got some exhaust work done and for some reason my washer reservoir was removed. It must have been in the way
