Hello! I am almost done with my build but there's still only one problem...

I'm afraid if I cut the 90 degree flexible a little more, it will have to bend and will cause a restriction in the air flow.

Also I'm pretty sure if I cut it more, I won't be able to put on the tighteners whatever you call them.

The car is almost ready to go. I really wanna run it in maximum a week.

Any solutions so I can run and base-tune it in the meantime I get the right flexible?

 

Looks like you will need to have the intercooler pipe cut and rewelded into a more appropriate spot. Ideally exiting the IC from the left end, if possible

 

Yeah that's quite obvious... I'm looking for a quick solution so I can run it whilst I get that job done.

 

Square peg, meet round hole.

 

what $lacker said.... your situation is something that should of been planned out at the beginning of your build. there is no sensible work around for your situation. cut that pipe off and reweld it to the side of the intercooler and go from there. trying to find a shortcut or quick fix for this situation will likely cause more problems later. just be patient and get it fixed the right way.

 

There ain't no way to fix that problem with a silicone coupler and band clamps, which is what it sounds like you're hoping for. Sorry, bro--you're going to have to take that IC out and re-pipe it.

Edit: I don't even think re-clocking the compressor housing would help. Wouldn't be easier than re-doing the IC anyhow.

 

Originally, my plan was to keep the intercooler I had with my twin setup. The piping you see on the left was re-welded so it would go to the left. Before, it would pass just to the left of the alternator. Thanks guys. Currently looking for someone in my area that can do custom intercooler piping asap.

 

What you need to do here is have that pipe cut and seal weld the end tank.
Then cut a hole and have the pipe welded on the side here. This will make plumbing the turbo to that IC more straight forward and it also makes way for you to put a filter on that turbo.

 

Re-work the IC pipe would be the cleanest, but if you must get it to work now you can try rotate the compressor counter-clockwise ~45°, cut the IC pipe off at the weld, then use two tight bent 90° coupler and one straight pipe to connect them. It's hard to tell without being there in person but it might work, the compressor angle will be kinda like the GReddy T78 kit.
