What is the easiest way to reconnect the piping between teh intercooler and the Turbo outlet on a TN kit. I cant get it to line up and even if i could, i dont think the coupling hose will fit over the turbo end becuase the turbo is so close to the side of the car. If i cant get this today, is it safe to drive to my installers tomorrow (20 mi). My main concern would be that there is really no fliter on there

 

back to the installers tomorrow....seems like a fairly common problem with the TN kit. Would have been a real easy fix, but there is absolutely 0 room to work around taht turbo. Engine bay is too tight.

 

The easiest way to work on that pipe is to pull the wheel off and the fender liner and work on it from there. There is very little space between the frame and the turbo compressor outlet.

can you reclock the turbo?

mine was tight, but not that tight. also, you may want to adjust the the uppipe. adjusting the uppipe will give you more room.

 

Agreed with removing the inner fender...

 

yeah i think the fender is hte only way to do it. I messed with it for about 2 hrs yesterday, adn there is no room to work without removing the wheel.

 

I just beat on the headlight frame until I had enough room . . . . but I dont recommend that.

Andy send me a PM next time. I have a crap ton of tools

 

yeah if i had more time in the day i would have went to the mcb to go to the auto center, but i only had an hr before they closed. I will call you tonight about my parts.
