82226, intercooler question
Posted by zags13, Feb-04-05 07:30 AM
im doin a custom kit, and i got a front mount with end tanks on opposite sides. im wondering if this is going to be a problem with piping, because ive seen majority of people turboing the 420a have the end tanks coming off the same side. is this possible to do piping with the end tanks coming off opposite ends?
thanks a lot

i see your set up, but i was wondering more if i would be able to run the piping from the left (as youre facing the car) rather than have both pipes going the same direction

thanks

ok, coming off the turbo, having the piping go down and out towards the passenger side wheel, then have it bend 90 into the intercooler, then go towards the driver side wheel, and up into the manifold. as opposed to having it come from the turbo, go down towards the driver side, up over the intercooler, then having the return pipe go the same route.

sorry

Wouldn't the ENGINE kinda be in the way??? or the manifold or accessories?

I havn't seen anyone do that with a star intercooler but it's been done by a lot of members here. I think Jason_ESi-T has a few pictures up on his webpage. I would have a set of piping going each direction if I was doing the work.

Heres some pics of my setup. I wish I had taken some with the bumper off, but this is the best I can do now. Hope this helps.
