Moding The Large Water Pipe Behind The Turbo ??

[sweet97]

I am installing an AGP RS49 and the compressor housing just touches the pipe right where i plug the port that would feed water tothe front of a DSM turbo. What is the best(safest) way to move the pipe back towards the block a 1/4" or so. I tried givimng it a few soft hits with a hammer but am afraid to bust the weld of the boss? Has anyone removed the pipe and bent thre tabs where the screws mount it? does that position it out of the way?
Last do you just not let the oil/water coller work or do you run a return line to the ... You know what i mean.This allows water to cirulate through the cooler or is the cooler useless any ways? Thanks, Mark
PS: I hope to be running possibly monday if i can fab an intake and lower IC pipe.

just take your time and do little at a time. use a hammer and keep hitting till it clears..

couldn't see the pipe in your pic, is it there? My comp housing just touches the boss. i didm give it a few raps and will check for fit tomorrow or when i get a couple of mounting bolts as I snapped 2. i need to have a piece of one removed from the turbo flange, hopefully the local auto machine shop can do it.

Plug that up with a shorter bolt..

You can also convert your waterpipe to an AN stainless steel hose.

Plug what with a shorter bolt? A AN line replacing a pipe over 1" diameter ad as long as it is must cost a fortune. I could just buy a nob-turbo car's water pipe. The amount of interference is just a touch, the comp housing barely touches it! Mark

a few whacks with the hammer will take care of it.

put a manifold spacer on it about 1/2 inch thick and use montero manifold studs, there 1/2 longer, i had to do that about a year ago on a t3/t4 setup i installed

what you should do is update my Buyer/Seller Feedback and Ratings since you havent done it yet (if you cant figure it out i am the one who sold him the RS49)
