Default turbo crx owners

I need to know the best way to route my charge pipe out of the compressor. I am running the max rev manifold on a b18b, and the turbo is turned in the conventional direction (compressor on passenger side) Man its tight down there, im not sure if its going to clear with the 3'' down pipe. Pics would be great, any and all sugestions are welcomed and thanked in advance. Allso i have a newer half size PWR radiator that I would like to make work, but it doesnt look like i can fit it to well without cutting the crossmember. Once again, any and all help welcomed

Rob

If you still are using the stock cross-member then you will have problems. I don't think a 3" will fit without major hacking.
I welded a 90 elbow onto my compressor to turn the corner and just clocked the turbo until it fit. Everything gets in the way with a stock cross-member.

I setup my turbo so the compressor is on the driver's side. A world of difference and much easier and simpler downpipe.

You may want to consider this.

I tried to rotate it the other way, so the compressor housing is sitting on the driver side. Two things happen, 1 The manifold pushes it so far out that the turbo was sitting where the radiator would be, so i thought no problem i have a half sized pwr rad, ill put it in. Slid it in there then 2 the discharge for the exhaust sat right against the side of the radiator.
