just curious why you didn't clock the turbo and route the cold side a little lower like most do?

Ah, Yeah you would have to get a elbow welded on if you did that, thats true.

one thing you might want to keep watch for is under higher boost that silicone 90 is likely to blow a hole in the middle of the bend. Mostly why people weld elbows on; but your project looks good. When will it run?

Ah. well if you route it down I suggest picking up one of those elbows from driftmotion or something. I just had my 67mm welded up in class and it was pretty simple.

yea, there is a place near me has them for 30 bucks. ill do that later, this hose is like 5 layer... so that probably wont happen. dotta angle the Dp tomorow, and get the exhaust made on the car and redo that cold side for now. later when i turn it up like a mother ill do the welded 90º and hks front mount, probably.... so we will see.

i had a 3 ply blow on me when I used to cruise around at 16 lbs. I don't know how long it actually took to finally go, but it was probably like a year of daily driving. Turned up the boost for a small race with a buddy and he was actually keeping up with me in his camaro. Biggg boost leak!

Im sure it would only cost like 25 bucks to have someone tig that elbow on. Any ways good luck!
