and this is what the finished pipe looks like.



ok next up to do is the pipe from the turbo to the intercooler.doing it this way also helps to locate the turbo in the car.
in the pic below u can see how the pipe comes from the intercooler and makes a right bend

and in this pic it makes a 90* bend upwards

now what u need to do is trim the pipe to the right hieght so when u put the turbo on the end it dosent interfer with the fan or the belt/pulleys on the engine
heres 2 more showing the turbo placement
once u get it in place u want to bolt the inlet flange into the turbo


once the turbo is were u want it then comes doing ex inlet pipe
the easiest way to do this is to run a ppe up from the stock y pipe
on the drivers side with a 2.25 hole saw u cut a hole into the y pipe.
ps dont mind the oil all over the pipes i had removed the oil filter and oil filter adapter housing to weld in my oil return fitting into the pan and oil got all over the pipes

u can see the location of were the pipe/hole goes in the pic above/ill have to get better pics
now the pipe u weld onto that should be notched in a tubing nother so u get a good fit
as u can see here the pipe runs foward under the front crossmeber at the sides.pretty much inbetween the cm/and the lower control arm

this pipe runs all the way upto the inlet on the turbo and gets welded to the flange that u bolted to the turbo
since i dont have better pics of the pipe routing right now heres some of the inlet pipe being welded on the bench
