How much piping ?
Saturday, August 09, 2008 12:39 AM
Hey guys, I am going to put the turbo kit on in a week, and I am trying to finish getting everything together, and I was wondering what amount of piping and couplers I should use on my IC piping..

The charge piping is 2.5" aluminum, 2 90* pipes, 2 45* pipes, 2 70* pipes, 2 straights, and I have some 2.5" mild steel piping...

I also have 6 2.5" straight couplers, 3 90 degree 2.5" bends, and 14 T clamps... , im aware that this probably isnt gonna be enough for the whole kit FMIC kit So I need to order whatever else I need quickly in order to get it by friday when I leave for Illinois for the install.

I need to buy a 2.5 to 2 reducer for the compressor outlet, 2.5 to 2.25 reducer for the end of the FMIC, and 2.75 to 2.5 reducer for TB ,but was wondering what else should be on my list, particularly how many 90 couplers you guys used, idk if three will be enough.

Heres the best pic of the piping I could find.. I hope someone has a good guess for this






Thanks in advance as always

i just bought 2 universal kits. I have some left over goodies if you want.....

I used about 1 1/2 of the kits, I used all my 90*, a lot of the straight, and only 1-2 45*.

It all depends on how you are going to run it though....

Iv got left overs too! But mine is 3inch. It was temporary. When I run the intercooler i am just going to make exhaust pipe. I work in an exhaust shop and can get the pipe fairly cheap. I will just paint it. lol.

thats a ton of couplers... i have a bunch of elongated 90 degree 2.25 aluminum pipes that i used for all of mine. i would recommend weld as much as possible. i would get it down to as little of pipe as possible with as little couplers as possible as well
