well since right now im mostly just researching and looking at stuff that im gonna buy very soon i was wondering how people with 03-05 cavs are running the charge pipes and intercooler pipes. i was wondering if maybe u could post pics of ur setup or just explain the easiest or simplest way to run them. ive noticed on some setups there is not one pipe noticable except for the one attached to the throttle body and on some there is charge pipes running right next to the fuel lines and such, so if u could post pics or just explain the easiest way to run them it would be much appreciated. thanks!
Going blindly into creating a new thread will make enemies on this forum.
Searching is definitely your friend...you should know this by now.

oh well i searched and i also looked on cardomain but theres not really alot of turbo j's with pics of the turbo kit, it just says on thier mods. and i have seen some on here like 04ecoteclssport's car and ecoclean's but i just wanted to know if maybe someone had any easier ways to do it. sorry for asking for help i guess ill search even harder next time
I don't have any pictures handy but I went from the turbo behind the engine,across to in front of the strut tower, then down into the hole behind the battery for the stock intake tubes, down right behind my left fog light, 90 into the intercooler, out of the intercooler, and then 2 tight radius 90 degree bends to wrap the pipe behind the radiator, a straight piece that brings you directly under the area between the battery and intake manifold, then a 90 facing straight up to bring the pipe up to the engine bay, then across and into the intake manifold.
Way too much pipe in my opinion but I couldn't get it to work any other way. This probably makes no sense with out being able to see the pictures but I'll try to get them as soon as I can. I used 5 or 6 2.5" tight radius j-bends from summit racing. Good luck.
Boosted Eco @7psi for now....GTO come spring.....
no actually i get exactly how ur saying dude. that doesnt seem to bad so ima see if there is any other way to do it and if not ill do it like that. how much did the bends end up coming out to from summit for the 6 of them? thanks
anyone else have pics or descriptions?if not thanks though
look up brandon fetter in the members and then go to his car domain he has pics of his charge pipes ran under the car up close and detailed. Hope it helps
Thanx Charles
