NA-T Oil & Intercooler Piping Suggestions
Alright guys, trying to finish piecing together my kit, looking to pick your brains since this platform is new to me.
Oil feed line:
Do most of you guys run your oil feed over the head and just have it laying there? This doesn't seem right to me and when I took a piece of string I measured out at least 4ft needed to route the oil feed around the back of the engine and around to keep it hidden.
How long was your oil feed lines and what size did you pick? -3AN or -4AN? Was a filter used?
I'm thinking about having a custom line made by ATPturbo with 90deg flare fittings on the end and have a straight 1/8"NPT to -4AN fitting on the oil feed inlet of the turbo.

I'm also considering running an inline -4AN oil filter like the one Forced Performance offers or Earl's has.

Intercooler Piping Size and Routing:
This is still depending on whether my stock throttle body is going to clear my SPracing manifold & 1.00 A/R twin scroll turbine housing.
ASSUMING it will clear it, it looks like 2.5" piping is going to make fitment and my life a whole lot easier.
What size Upper and lower intercooler piping did you go with?
Did you use a 90degree pipe off the throttle body? 70 Deg or 45 deg?
On the upper IC pipe, did you pass through the side plastic piece in the corner or I've even seen people pass this pipe through the space under the headlight. Or cutting open a hole but I want to avoid this if possible.
Basically I'm trying to decide if 3" intercooler piping is really going to be necessary with the 6265. 3" will be harder to fit and more of a pain I'm thinking and 2.5" will do the trick and even help out slightly with lag but very minimal differences there.
I'm looking at purchasing a CXRacing universal IC pipe kit for $89.00 bucks shipped with couplers / t-bolts / 8 pieces of pipe.
