I'm going to and FD intake and throttle body on my s4 turbo. What intake elbow would clear the power steering pump? I'm going to be using the Franklin engineering adapter with a front mount setup..

 

Anybody know of any FD intake elbows that don't curve towards the front of the car? I really don't want to cut and weld one.

 

By "curve towards the front" do you mean the angle, or just towards the front end of the car in general?

I do know the Rotary Works FD elbow is more "straight" and doesn't curve back towards the center of the front of the car. That's why I'm using it on my FC with FD UIM, but unfortunately it's still causing some rubbing on my sexy-style hood vents.

 

im using a s6 upper and a FFE s6 to 90mm GM TB adaptor. that will get you there but will end up costing money.

 

I've always been told those single TB are rough on the street. The stock FD intake elbow is cast aluminum like the aftermarket ones right? At this point I think my best bet is to cut and weld a stock one. All FD elbows are designed so the piping goes right through where the FC power steering sits, except some weird HKS elbow but that will be impossible to find.
