    hey, ive got 2 options for the intercooler piping for my turbo setup,

    1) i can either run it the same side as the turbo (side the TB is on)
    and use a heat shield, this is the easiest way

    2) i can flip the TB over, re run cables/cruize control and run it the other side...


    any other idea's ???

    hmm well if you want to be different. turn the tb over, it would be a talking point on the car too. plus it would be best to keep the cold air far away from heat :thumbsup:
