i've been asked about my FMIC piping setup a few times already and thought i'd post this up

edit: this is for manny's request

these 2 pics are looking at it from the bottom...thats a 45 degree 2.5" silicone bend...oh and dont mind the super long worm-drive clamps...the 2.0 t-bolt clamps i ordered didnt fit on the turbo or the super thick 45 degree bend silicone so had to reuse my old (yet very durable and reliable) IDEAL clamps





this pic is looking at it from the top...

out of the turbo i used a 45 degree 2" silicone bend and a 2.5" to 2" reducer and mated them together with a small section of pipe and put two clamps on it, this allowed me clearance from the turbo and room for both radiator fans.

no windshield whiper resevoir? :sadpanda:

nice pics b-boy!
one request.
id like to see a few pics look down into the engine bay, at the way the hot pipe off the turbo is routed if ya could.

sure thing...i'll have 'em up tonight

by the looks of it you might have more 90s which might cancel out the reclocking of the trubo.

since the trubo is on the pass side y not just have the hot pipes feed the intercooler from the drive side and then the passneger side of the FMIC feed the engine? This i think would make for a shorter route and with out as many of the bends.

then the piping will come too close to the heat shield...the way i have it now its not that close to the heat shield and doesnt really heat up...i could try to go at it from the left side of the alternator but that might need more bends and would probably look messy...i dunno maybe ill think more about this. thnx for ur suggestion

just like i told ya so...i tell no lie glad it worked out! this is how mine is also but my 45degree bend is a 2.5 instead. and ya no windshield washer fluid...weight reduction! j/k my reservoir is just busted open but i bought a new one which i havent had the time to install yet
