Good luck chasing down boost leaks as well I  count 9 or 10 joins from the ic to turbo  :lipsrsealed:

Well how would you or anyone else get from there to my intercooler using less joins?  :huh:
yes i could weld a solid pipe before anyone says anything..... but any other options?

change that pipe off the turbo, its too high for this application , what mounts u using ? iv used same oem pipe in a mk2, used a mk3 subframe.  also used it in a mk1 and that was not high like yours :undecided:


also, smoothed bays always crack.. :sick:

I used the pipe of the original because thats all i have and being a budget project all i can afford atm, i will mount it using the original mount to help support it, if it doesnt work i can always change it

The only forge pipe there is the one that goes into the TB, the rest are from here: http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/mrsilicone

The problem is with our roads its unlikely to last forever but if there are flexible joins then you should be fine.. Keep us posted

This is how we do them using the very same metal OEM pipe from the Turbo

much cleaner look than the faffy looking bay Dom posted up

done this on a mk2 and a mk1 too where they have had KO3 and KO3S turbos
