Okay, all my parts finnally came (big 16G with install kit and j-pipe) and i was busy bolting and turning, torquing cursing and screaming when i was almost there, turbo, exaust manifold, coolant and oil lines all good, go to bolt the j-pipe on and the f*$#er doesn't fit, it hits my cooling fan. Now im pissed. (ebay turbo, thats what i get, but by the time i read they weren't worth it, it was to late). So i had it cut at the middle if the j angle, and cut a peice of my factory i.c. pipe to make a flex pipe, the connected the other half to that, then got a coupler joint (Ace is the place) to connect the other pipe with the vaccuume nipple on it to those peices.

Sorry, two questions:

is that okay for the time being?

and my upper water cooling line, i couldn't fit it on facing up, so i faced it under the turbo, is that okay as well?

thanks in advanced, sorry about ranting like that, but wanted to give you guys as much info as i could. :confused:
 
sweet. thanks man, i would've just put that thing in as instructed, awesome much appreciated.

I found a new sound thats bothering me though, between 25-30 mph I get a wooshing sound kinda like a jet plane sound, what the hell is that?!
