I have a ebay universal IC. what piping route did you use. did you have to CUT anywhere?

I would like to know these answers also.

post if you find any results.. good luck

I talked ot a guy who said he ran the hot air side from bottom of turbo to the driver side of universal ic with a 180 degree bend to meet ic input, then ran the cool air side back through stock location to the 3000 pipe would that be a good idea?

if the 180 degree bend is the only way.. whats the downfall to it? not enough room? low clearance?
if it works go for it. seems like thats the only way.

yeah thats the only way i can see, ill try it and post how t works, im just a little worried about that bend causing a high pressure spot and popping one of the connectors off the piping cuz it will have to be a sharp 180 degree bend

It's a VERY common setup, don't worry about it too much, but get piped with rolled beads for the 180 at least.

aluminum is the standard piping used for aftermarket IC's. you could opt for using the same "soft" piping that comes stock with your car. probably cheaper and just as reliable while maintaining that "stock" appearance
