#35425, "Look at my funny IC piping... cf hood aint trying to fit right"
As you can see my piping comes up and my cf hood I just put on doesn't fit right and rubs against my piping which Im hoping wont cause any damage but my question is how hard would it be to rotate the turbo and just replace that small section of piping so it doesn;t point up? How much should I rotate the turbo and where can I get new piping? TIA -Dave

Rotate the turbo 90 degrees down so it points twards the ground. Then you can prolly turn that top pipe around and cut it so it will be shorter. then put a silicone elbow on there to run to the turbo outlet. I would prolly ask Corbin what he thinks since he had to modify some stuff when he recieved his piping and put that big ass semi intercooler on there...lol btw I don't know how to rotate the turbo but hades and others may...
I edited to the wiki!

thats the beauty of the star kit, the rotatable turbo housing...yea. theres a few brackets with 2 bolts each holding them on, you just remove them and slip off housing. then put it back on in the position you want. you might need to buy a 90 degree bend coupler because it will be a tight fit. i have star stage 1 and i dont know how u guys fit the air filter right onto the turbo itself. mine wont fit, its not even close.
