Hey guys :) I just need to ask around on this one to see if anyone is in the same boat lol

When I change my turbo over it will be moved forward slightly, the turbo outlet won\'t line up with the stock IC pipe location :(

Are you able to get flexible IC hoses as I don\'t think there will be enough space to be able to put couplers and hard pipes AND the hardpipe with the BOV welded on to connect it up :(

Could sell the top mount and go V mount ?
 
Also, how much piping and how long would it be from the new turbo position to the intercooler - might be possible to use to 135 bends (45 degree change in pipe angle)  and the existing BOV hard pipe at an angle

When the turbo is fitted get on the forge website and just order the piping to suit your needs.

Cant see that being a problem at all.

Im going to keep the top mount, its too shiny to sell lol :) I will check out that site alex, might see if I can get some of that flexible stuff, will have to have a look around though :)

Give me a shout if you do decide to sell it. Although I think you\'ll find the right piping for it.
I don\'t need to upgrade my stock turbo to beat your ass!
