Glad to see so many guys helping you out buit. I did my install the first time in the winter, with bad lighting and no help

Car is awesome by the way.

I looks awesome. I really need to get mine on.

On the turbo outlet to the intercooler, how far over does the outlet shift to the drivers side? Is that why you need a longer hose?

no, the intercooler still sits where is supposed to be, the stock hose was short, and the upgraded hose from protegegarage was even shorter. what they should of done was to give us the 45 degree hose with long legs and we cut it to our liking.

Heh, I'm asking about the TURBO OUTLET. Is it still straight below the intercooler inlet?

It is in pretty much the exact same place (not saying exactly because I'm sure it moved a little bit). The problem is the stock K04 has a long turbo outlet and the GT doesn't so the turbo outlet sits a lot lower. If you want a visual you would need a stock size hose with one of the legs about 3" longer. Also, you'll need to figure out what you want to do for boost control. The one thing I would suggest to anyone installing this turbo is to take the compressor housing off (easy to do, don't freak out) and have the housing drilled and tapped for a 1/4" nipple. You will need it added no matter what type of boost control method you want to use and you should get it done ahead of time. If you have any other questions about install suggestions just post em up here or PM me.

It's been a while, but I could have sworn that thing was closer to the passenger side by a little bit?

This is why I remembe when people where gettign the ATP inlet pipe for the K04, I said I thought it would be a tighter fight due to the K04 being out further.

I think if it did move it was only a fraction of an inch. To make a hose that fit I had to add a little length to just one end of the stock hose.

so are you still runnin the stock manifold with the bigger turbo???

yea i think most if not all of us with turbo upgrades are running the stock manifold. I like it also because it has the flex piece so its easier to align the turbo onto it

so the stock manifold has no problems bolting up to the bigger turbo???
