I have my AC removed and simply bent the hood latch support backwards about an inch to help with clearance. I left the steering cooler lines attached to the hood mount and just bent them back slightly. The top of the unit just fits below the top lip of the metal bumper. The lower lip and guts of the bumper will have to be trimmed about 2 to 3 inches. I haven't run the piping yet but it will have to follow the long route.

Thats if your using a 14b/16g style turbo. The end result should look like this Only the turbo will be g series with this J-pipe. Two straight 2" pipes and three 90 degree couplers and your done! If the inlet of your fmic is 2.25 O.D., you can get a coupler that is 90 degree transition from 2" - 2.5" from Kinetic as well. Give Ryan a call, he can hook you up!

I've only seen one other car with that exact same copper/orange colour and that was a 300ZX over at Metalex. Owner told me it was a colour offered for one year only on the Lamborghini Diablo VT. 1991 Laser RS turbo 1993 Talon TSi AWD http://www.infowars.com

Where can you get the 90 degree couplers and for how much? I have some 2.5" aluminium pipes that I could use for this. 1990 Eagle Talon, TSI AWD - SOLD 2002 Mazda Pro 5

If you want it even shorter, direct your upper IC pipe right towards the inlet of the fmic, relocate the overflow bottle and cut the upper ic pipe so its straight. Reconnect everything with 45 and 90 degree couplers and its SUPER short. The couplers arent cheap. They run around 40 - 60 dollars depending on diameter and type. With that in mind, you dont need to buy expencive mandrel bent pipes or have anything welded, just straight pipes.
