having a lot of trouble with turbo piping

[gstballa 42]

ok i have a s256 turbo im trying to install. i origiainaly had a 16g with a greddy 24v intercooler. the problem i am running into is when i mount the turbo and the compressor outlet is facing down it is a little to the drivers side of the car to the K member but my piping will not fit to go to the passengers side of the car where the inlet of my intercooler is. i thought about trying to flip my intercooler around and running the piping to the driver-side but i cant do that because the piping to the intake runns across the front top of the IC. i even tried to turn the housing so it would face upward and run the piping like a 16g with a j pipe but that wont work. IM STUMPED. so if anyone can give me some help it would be parishiated

heres a link to the FMIC i have just go down to the eclipse 24v

Get an 90 degree elbow welded on the compressor housing to face the passenger side. That is the only way to fix that issue really or just put the 16g back on.

 

[gstballa 42]

The 90 degree elbow sounds Good Im just not sure how much clearance I will have, can anyOne tell me from experience what they have done or seen? I'm pretty sure there must me a way to make this work without welding

 

[gstballa 42]

Anyone with a different idea? What material does the elbow need to be?

 

[lag monster]

take it to a place were they weld alum. and make them fix ## problem.

If you have extra piping or can rearrange what you have just route it to go up first by the alternator and down pipe and then across straight at the turbo outlet and use a 90 degree coupler to connect the two.
