(Try and ignore the last minute ghetto oil separator clamped on to A. )

Fig A. pipe from compressor outlet that goes to IC

Fig B. pipe goes from the IC out to throttle body (goes in-between A. and B. )

Fig C. turbo intake pipe from fender well (this can also angle above the rail and sit the air filter where the battery was)

The intercooler that you can't see has endtanks on the same side and is top to bottom feed.

You could use a top to bottom feed with endtanks entering and exiting like an "Z" and run Fig A. around the passenger side of the IC also. (like this

This is what my IC looks like ( unfortunately it's a POS knock off for the time being)

the one that flows like a z looks like it would work perfect.....i've been looking at this......UNIVERSAL LIGHT ALUMINUM 3"IN TURBO 18"x12x3" FMIC FRONT MOUNT INTERCOOLER BLACK | eBay

i'm thinking that i'll run the pipes around the rad....prolly have to cut some core support...my o2 is less than a half inch from my fans....and place it with the in/out at the top and run it actually upside down.....the one i have now is 27 inches long and it's not gonna fit behind the bumper....it's too long

if you look at my build thread you'll notice my lower bumper is mostly just the fogs so i'm kinda trying to fill the hole with FMIC

taxes are on the way so i'll be updating this and my build as i figure out what i'm doing with my piping

thanks so much for all the info guys!!

Why would I be offended? You just told him to do exactly what I did.

Thats kinda what i planed from the get go....i wanna keep my fogs and my washer bottle so i`m gonna cut some holes in the core support =)

yup just cut the holes ....plasma them if you can it would be quick
