Exclamation Ac line Re-route

Just looking to reroute the ac-line with the Turbonetics kit, anyone have any pictures or any advice of the best route. The current one supplied by turbonetics seems to kink and have problems. Yes, I used the search, just found a bunch of useless info. Thx guys

Turbonetics only makes a single turbo kit I can't remember how exactly Turbonetics does it, per the instructions, but a good heat wrap won't hurt. Taurran would be the best person to ask. He is the resident Turbonetics Guru!

Use a combination of heat wrap and the cool tube and you should be ok. I would also wrap as much of the exhaust pipes as you can. What you need to do is elimate as much heat as you can.

Also, a turbo blanket is a great investment on the TN kit.

ya thats what I was looking at, that looks like the one that's on Taurrens thread. Looked like it provides a LOT more cover for the turbo!
