hmm todd definitely changed the pipe design.. mine wasnt like that.. but try to position it some more, it looks like you just need to adjust the pipes

 

i think you have the pipes wrong.... the cold side (anything after the intercooler and ending at the TB) should all be the same size pipe. same thing goes for the hot side pipes. it looks like you had a different size pipe at the intercooler trying to meet up with large size pipe comeing from the TB. I see a trasition coupler on that smaller pipe is why i guessed that.

 

yea both pipe's comeing from the i/c are 2" the charge pipe and air filter pipe are 2.5.... i think with more adjusting i will get it prolly pipes will be rubbing but ill get it ill just get some tie straps with some rubber piece's in between its gonna be a tight sqeeze .. im running my vac line's now and hooking up the rest of the boost gauge i forgot my 24mm wrench at work so i cant take the oil press sensor off to do my oil fittings today lol

 

so your saying that all the pipes are the same size except for the turbo intake pipe?

 

crecent wrench ftw!!!

 

yup...... both pipes coming from the i/c are 2 inch the intake pipe is 2.5 and the charge pipe is 2.5 ive got the little coupler that goes from 2.5 to 2 just gotta get it to go together with the charge pipe and the right side pipe.. i think i can get it i pray.. just so upset lol i can't unistall all this from my car right now.. and i need my car for work by thursday

 

yea i had one laying around but i guess it ran off idk

 

ok like i said before on one side of the intercooler should be the small pipes and on the other side should be the large 2.5pipes. hot side should be 2", cold side should be 2.5"

 

im guessing this is the way he made it because all the coupler's maatch and my cold side looks exactly the same ___ alldegames pipe

 

yea i just text todd and he said its suposed to be that way 2" to 2.5" then the hot side is just 2" to the turbo

 

as it sits for now untill i get my charge pipe tuesday.. just gotta do the
oil line's
finish the oil fittings & oil press gauge
hook up the boost selinod and little more

 

is that one of them skion tz's? i heard they were slow

 

not as this slow as this riced out white tc with white wheel's

 

yea i gotta get new bolts for the downpipe the spring loaded bolts are not long enough i only have the stock s pipe right now.. gotta be carfull with the new bolts tho if i put them 2 tight can snap the manifold like soflotc's!

 

im done for today before i break something or kill someone the oil fittings that i got even the one that todd sent me won't fit into the hole on the head it almost does but just feels a little to big.. did anyone else have this problem? i mean i got the 1/8 fittings..i just idk

 

Ahh the frustration of the install....I remember that. Headaches, money spent on additional parts amongst other things. You'll get it all figured out pretty soon. You'll be boosted soon bro!

 

yo did the oil fittings u bought did they feel like they were bigger then the hole on the head? did u just force it in? i dont wanna strip the hole out

 

I don't recall having to force in anything. 1/8" npt should do it but you just said something about that is off. That's one hole that you don't want to strip out.

 

yea i just searched and finnaly found a answer on this dam site lol i gotta get some " nipple flared fittings" some dude had the same problem.... back to the parts store tuesday again lol

 

i just used a 1/8th npt brass threaded coupler (short style). it only goes in for about 2-3 threads. the hole for the stock sensor is tapered so if you can find an 1/8 npt tappered thread coupler then that would be best but a regular 1/8th npt will do. use teflon tap, it is your friend but just be carefull not to have loos pieces of it cloging up the hole.
