Right side intercooler pipe coming all the way across the bottem??

[COtalonDriver]

I recently got a 93 tsi and the right side piping of the intcooler comes all the way acrosse the bottem of the car so both pipes come up on the left side of the engine. it seems like it should go up the right side like all the rest or its going to wrecked b somthing when i driving. is this normal or should i have changed so it goes up the right side?

Do you have a FMIC? if so, it looks fine, the J-pipe just goes in a different direction. If you have the stock side mount, then yea, its a little weird

Disregard my last post, I now see that you do indeed have a FMIC. Normally the piping from the j-pipe would go across the top of the turbo (towards the drivers side inside the engine bay) but this way doesn't seem like it would be harmful unless you have problems with ground clearance.

Also, recirc that BOV please

Ghetto-fabulous.!

Look at all those couplers for boost leaks! (Although, it does look like tbolt clamps were used.)

Whoever did it, used the stock jpipe ->stock sidemount piping direction, and looped it into the end tank that most kits use as an outlet leading to the TB. Hence the super long pipe that runs from the coolside to the throttlebody.

I would say to ditch your stock j-pipe and get an aftermarket j-pipe where it points to the driver side to eliminate all that piping and chances of boost leaks.

Looks like a DIY or an Ebay/SSAC special. Get one from Punishment racing.

Would having that long of pipe ### any problems (like lower boost or more lag) ? because that is my first thought.

If you used a drivers facing j-pipe your throttle response would be much batter. Also, you wouldn't have to use a zip tie to hold your piping up.

As others have stated, get a drivers facing j pipe and it will drastically shorten your setup. That just looks terrible the way it is now being ass backwards.
