Default Better way to run Charge pipes

I have not done this but i have been told this is the best way to run charge pipes. There is a small hole on the passenger side for powersteering lines. well if you enlarge that hole to the 2.5" you need for a charge pipe(very quick work with a sawzall) you can cut down the amount of bends and piping you need. just a little suggestion

This was not my idea....i was told this by someone.

You may want to let us know what kind of car you are doing this to. Wouldn't want everyone to sawzall their car around the power steering lines.

In my Civic there is a nice sized hole in the passenger side that is perfect for a 2.5" pipe. One downfall to it is it might rattle around inside the hole so you might want to wrap some rubber around the pipe or something similar.

When you completely take out the stock airbox there is a big enough hole that you don't need to cut or anything

His talking about the hot side (turbo side) charge pipe not the cool side (after the I/C)

Ive got mine running under the car on a eg civic .The turbo's facing down ,its got one 90 and a 180 bend .It sit's a bit low but is still hidden by the bumper .I Think if u run thought the P/S hole then u might get some heat soak from the manifold?Thats my 2c

try using window molding around the tube and the hole, to absorb the vibrations.
