That's a good idea, I would need to get some flex pipe or have an extension made. I forgot I can't turn the driver's side like yours because my intake pipe comes up there.

 

exaxctly! that's why I thought about going through the front for you.

try going to www.boostcontroller.com

I bought some 2.75" polished aluminum 90* bends from them for me air filter reloaction. I only ended up using of them, though. They also sell 45*, straights, silicone hose, and t-bolt clamps.

 

Awesome, thank you. I'll make that my next project after the fuel return that should be here any day.

 

So one of my AEM filters came in today. I put it on the passenger side and it fit great. Unfortunately because of the new large radiator it won't fit on the driver's side. Looks like that relocation is now a requirement if I want any other filters on there.

 

The Filter is K&N RR-2802, Reverse Conical Style, a little smaller than QuadCam's filter.

Thanks. I wish I would have known about this before I got my AEM ones. But since I have, I'll have to pass on this.

 

Do you still have any leftover parts you don't want? I'm going to need some for mine.

 

What parts did you use to do the Driver's side filter? Was it just one bend (90 or 45?) and coupler/clamps? It's hard to get an idea of how long those bends are. I am going to have to do what you did to fit the AEM filter. I can't go out the front like the TN did because the A/C lines are in the way.

I'll post this over in your thread too in case you don't come into this one.

 

you can bend the a/c lines out of the way...that's what I did.

On the driver's side, I used a section of pipe from the gredy kit. If you saved your old piping, you'll have a "y" pipe that was used if you didn't have an intercooler. I cut a short section off of it right after the bend. It was the section of pipe that would have gone to the MAF in a regular greddy kit (non intercooler.) I would say that it is about a 45* bend.

 

For your TN kit? How far can you bend them?

 

I bent them for the TN kit originally, but the SFR piping goes through the same location...so it worked out well!!!'

I can't find any pics of how I modded them....I used to have them, nut I erased them..........

at any rate, the lines are very maleable. I did use an air saw to saw off the backet that was welded to the lines to hold them in place........

I had to move the lines alot for the TN kit due to the location of the turbo. It didn't give me any options.

for you, you will have some wiggle room as you can find the easiest place to get the pipe through.

 

That is very good to know, thank you! I will go ahead and order some bends to bring them through.

You don't have any pictures of the bends you got do you? They list lengths on their site but I am not sure if it's pipe length or overall length? Just trying to get an idea of what I would need to make a hole and bring it through. I'm thinking just a 45 and a 90 might do it. I may need a straight piece too but not sure.

 

definately a 90 for each side, and probably a 45 for each side, too..

The 90 alone won't do it alone...it's not long enough. do you have any shops that can mandrel bend in you area?

 

I'm sure there are a few around here somewhere.

From what I see it looks like a 45 and 90 on the driver's side might be perfect. The passenger’s side might work with two 45's.

I guess I'll just take a swing and order what might work and go from there. Worst case I can have UMS do some welding to make it work for me.

Thanks for all your help!
Black TT sedans FTW.

 

So I just ordered $175 worth of stuff from them. Let's hope that is enough to do this.
I got a straight pc and 45 for the left side and a 90 and 45 for the right side along with 4 blue silicone couplers and 8 t-bolt clamps for them. With any luck this will go on with little work.
