Greddy FMIC and downfiring turbo?

[Gamble97]

Is it possible to run a greddy fmic with a down firing turbo? Does the front motor mount get in the way?

Anyone have any pics of this setup?

My turbo in pointing down, I got a pipe made to the intercooler. I don't have any pics with me but I will post some.

If you are talking about the Greddy 18r, I guess anything is possible. just a matter of how practicle it would be. if im correct, one o fthe inlets is coming off the side, and the other inlet is coming off the front and point to the side right?

its possible, and you can even do somewhat-short-route piping.

You can look for piping with the bend you need or they make prebent silicon for tight bends. Go to your local performance store and ask it they have any extra pieces. Thats what i did for my old set up and it worked good till i upgraded. Free too.

i wouldnt really trust that prebent silicone if you are gonna be running much more than stock boost. it pops off a lot easier under high boost. you can run a j-pipe down and it doesnt hit the mount... here i drew a picture..

click this link, it will take you to the pic i drew. i dunno how to post pics in the site..

you can run the lower ic pipe down and into the side of the ic. the upper ic pipe exits and goes around, and has to come up through the stock UICP location.

this is all if you have that particular style of greddy intercooler.
