i just installed my turbo manifold, and turbo tonight, i was going to start running the pipeing however i ran into a little problem, well theres not much room for the 2.5 piping that i have, can you please post some pictures as to how you ran your piping, thanks,
2.5 fits fine, clock the turbo down and run right in between the motor mount and coolant line. drivers side ( remove factory airbox and windshield washer fuil container) the use one 180 bend and 1 e90 ebend, should be all good (if you have a 2.3 manifold) if not you need an extra 90 bend,

i tried to clock it down however the turbo hits the frame, i tried removing everything that i could but bottom line it hits the frame, i have it mounted upright now. i just put the charger pipes on and where the rubber elbow joines the turbo to the rest of the pipeing it is maybe 1/4 of an inch away from hitting the manifold, is this going to cause me problems, what can i do to fix this, also for the exhaust do i use a flex pipe, i dont have a welder so i cant fab anything up. any suggestions?
find someone with a welder. that flex pipe junk will never hold up to the heat there...
there are certain things that it's impossible to cheap out on with aftermarket boost.

better a delay than a disaster.

nice pics, did you locate the battery and washer fluid to the trunk, where do i get a battery relocation kit, i need one asap as the car is going to get tuned on monday, with the piping i decided to run it under the car to the intercooler, then up into the TB,
Boosted2point4 everytime I see that I wish I could buy it. Its exactly the same way I plan to run mine although yours is already made lol. Good pictures all its very helpful for the visual people on here.....(me)

I removed the washer jug all together....i dont need it......lol...
Battery box was from Summit along with the cable relocating kit...cost me like 120.00 for everything
And yes i uncrossed the pos. and neg. cables if anyone was wondering.....it bothered me when they were like that..
hey boosted2point4 on the section of the pipes that runs to the compressor housing wat angle is that before the one that goes up to the turbo? and wat is the angle of the one that goes up to the turbo? let me know thanks!
Very nice fellas

I will post pictures when I get my camera from my sister later on.

My setup on my Sunflower. The hot side piping runs down in front of my coolant reservior and behind my fender liner to my intercooler. The cold side runs from my TB, down behind my radiator and into the fender well to the other side of my intercooler.
