Im just about done with putting my universal IC kit in and I've got everything solved, but that damn pipe that goes up to the turbo. I've got the correct reducer 2.5 in piping. The pipe is hitting the oil filter housing which doesnt allow the pipe to fit all the way (and straight) in the reducer. If I really want it to just get it in there and clamp it, its not very straight and its putting some strain on the reducer that I dont really trust. any ideas, pics that you guys have?
Trouble w/ compressor side IC pipe
- Thread starter Back2Basics
- Start date
Maybe you mounted the intercooler (if you put a different one on) too far over and that's why the pipe is hitting?
Could I really just rotate the compressor housing??!!! I hope so because that would do the trick. If this is possible, this the turbo doesnt have to be rebalanced or anything does it?
The intercooler mounting position really isnt the problem. The pipe is hitting that lip of the oil filter housing right away so there isnt really any way around it accept if I can do the above mentioned. Please inform me more on that!....or any other solutions. thanks!

If you rotoate the comp housing you are good to go - as long as the comp housing doesn't have a wastegate attached to it.
You won't need to have the turbo rebalanced btw.

Thanks MDC. That's what I was thinking.
