[Patm91]

does anyone have or know someone that has a turbo ef hatch or rex? i just cant figure out how to run the intercooler pipes without it being extremely long...any pics would be very appreciated.

my boy has a turboed ef and i was there when he boosted it and i know the driverside piping goes through the hole near the wiper resevoir and on the passenger side it has to go under near the tire inbetween the fender and wall

yea im pretty sure i gotta take the washer fluid reservoir out but i dfc. but my turbo inlet is on the left side

then you need something like what kingdaddy has on his turbo in his forsale thread

run backdoor i/c piping thats what i did,,its good for street setups too,,all out race you can run the longer pipes

yeah my buddy just ran into that problem with his rex and i came and had a backdoor done to it looks real good without the piping issues. well g/l hope you figure it out bro

You can flip the housing on the turbo. Other that i don't see how the res will get in the way.

why would you want longer piping for "race"?

ok, on anything over 400 hp,,the longer i/c piping does not hurt because your always in the top end or your powerband,,but on a street setup the backdoor piping is shorter nd makes for a little quicker spool time..

Shorter will ALWAYS be better. Shorter=less area to pressurize=less lag.
