ok, well i was looking for ways to run the pipes and found an old thread but several pics where gone so i decided to start this one up to answer my question!

on the drivers side it seems pretty straight forward on how to run the pipes. but on the passenger side the windshield washer pump is in the way. what has everyone done in this situation?

oh and btw, is 3 180's, a 90, and like 6 ft. of staright(got it for like 10 bucks fing02.gif ), going to be enough?

make sure you have a good distance between the charge piping and the downpipe

Just try to cut the less as you can do on those pipes as possible.....

Thats is a very good path....


BTW::: sorry for the "off topic"... why the BOV before the Intercooler???

I already explained it, but I like to try new things. We figured that it would be a good idea to vent "hot" air instead of cool air. The car doesn't seem to have any side-effect (ie, possible blow-off "lag") with this configuration.

six feet of tubing plus the intercooler? No thanks.. it is a shame there is no better way to run a FMIC on our cars.. the radiator and headlight area is pretty crowded.

I think I am going to air to water intercooled when I go turbo in the spring.

Just take a crack at it man. I know it looks like there isn't much room between the belts and all that junk that's there but it all fits.

Another thing to consider is that you need to be wary of how low it sits. Agarwal's looks kinda low but it doesn't sound like he has much of an issue.

OFF TOPIC

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the placement of your BOV Agarwal. If it's to Blow Off hotter air before the FMIC, then you will have a small surge/spike. I'm still confuzzled.

??? I don't remember getting knocked.... oh well, thanks for the info, when looking at it I didn't wanna go under the tank for windshield washer fluid because it looked awefully low and all the pictures I'd seen for the drivers side was through the splash guard.
