Intercooler piping issue

[apedog]

So I bought this intercooler from a guy and he said it was a Punishment intercooler setup. The pipes however do not fit at all. The pipe coming from the throttle body kinda comes up at an angle making the bov pipe not sit where it supposed to. The flange for the bov is hitting the hood and im kinda at a loss of what to do.
Should I cut it somehow to make it fit?

The 2nd picture is with the bov pipe kinda pushed down but even if I put a bov on it, it would still hit the hood

I would fab something up to make it work shouldnt be too difficult.

You probably need a 45 degree coupler at the throttle body elbow.

I'm no 1G expert, but I think you're going to run into other issues...

is this the short route piping kit? or the long route?

To me it looks like you're also going to have an issue with your upper radiator hose as well? are you sure it's positioned correctly?

silicone cuplers - DSM Classifieds try the cheao used 45* there.

You need to go a lot more to the passenger side.

I would try to take it back somehow. Or get some money back. I have a PR kit and it looks nothing like that.

Yeah its short route but I honestly dont think its gonna hit the upper radiator hose. I had it mocked up and it looked great but its just hitting the hood

Well I bought it off a guy on the classifieds about 2 months ago so thats a no go. Im confused of where your saying to put a 45 degree coupler, right at the end of the pipe coming from the throttle body to the bov pipe?

 

[pos4g63]

Yeah put a 45 there and it should lower the other pipe and give you clearance for the bov.

Alright sounds good, Ill give that a try.

Looks to me like it was built for a SMIM with the height of the BOV flange.. AT least from what i've seen

I've never seen FMIC piping be able to come off one car and bolt directly to another unless both cars are pretty much stock or both people bought the same "staged upgrades" from the same vendors, there's just to much variance in people builds and different brands of parts. Might as well plan on having a few extra T-bolts, silicone connectors and an extra mandrel bent piece of pipe or two in order to make sure everything bolts up or is able to be installed in one shot... trying to go at it with only the parts bought from aother car usally makes you realize the differences in setups and that you need some extras around when doing things like this yurself

What's it look like from the top, something isn't sitting right with your setup.

I'm sticking with the fact that those pipes are fit/cut for a smim. looks like it would hug the profile needed just right
