Cold Side-What bends/straights will I need?

I'm using RealQuicks log manifold with the T76 where the original AirPump was located. I'm also using the front mount Intercooler. So, how many elbows and straights did it take for you guys with similar layouts to get from the Turbo, to the intercooler, from the intercooler to the Throttle body. Next, where did you locate the BOV and MAF in this circuit? Thanks!

I would buy 6 of the 3" U bends (that will give you 12 - 90 degree pieces). Another option is to buy angles couplers and use all straight pipe (not as nice as the first option).

Jon, is this going to mount in the same location as mine did? If so I can count the pipes and get good pics/info for what you will need IF you want to run the pipes the way I did.(much shorter than normal)

I was going to offer my input but then realized it would nto help at all

Don't use Fernco though, I did and just got my new silicone stuff in, honestly it was only a few dollars more so I wasted the money on the cheap sewer crap. Get tbolts also, worm gears suck.

pretty much same design Justin... alot will depend on which side of the intercooler he feeds first.

True, I like the way we did mine, a LOT less piping.

I would like to see pics of yours. Im pretty much cloneing your setup. What size of piping do you all suggest for the intercooler side. The turbo has a 2.5 outlet on the compressor. Its a MP T70. Pry be easiest to feed the pass side first?
