Did it clear the AC?

Re:D.I.Y. Install: TD05-14B to HF Manifold
 

No it does not clear the A/C, but it cleas the A/C - torque arm mount on the drivers side (USDM). I hope nobody thinks this set-up will allow A/C. The Compressor side of the Turbo sits right were the A/C Compressor goes.

how would u route the ic piping

Re:D.I.Y. Install: TD05-14B to HF Manifold
 

great job sam!! and to b0i, i would imagine routing it about the ac compressor. and if its just not gonna be there it'll be pretty simple

Re:D.I.Y. Install: TD05-14B to HF Manifold
 

Every installer has his own preferences, but many aim the compressor outlet down, insert a 90 degree bend and shoot the IC inlet pipe under the frame on the driver's side (USDM), insert an 180 degree bend and come back in front of the framing (behind the bumper) to the IC, from the IC to the passenger side (USDM), around the frame and up thru the original Air box hole in the left fender and on to the TB. But you may backdoor your IC and use a much shorter run. Whatever you do, I would suggest keeping the IC pipes out of the engine bay as much as possible, low (if in the engine bay) and away from any heat sources (or at least up wind of the heat sources). Be sure to use beaded pipes and clamps or they will blow off.

Re:D.I.Y. Install: TD05-14B to HF Manifold
 

i have the same turbo as the demo, can u clock the compressor outlet downwards? i have a td04 doesnt seem like this turbo can clock

Re:D.I.Y. Install: TD05-14B to HF Manifold
 

Some of the turbos have an orientation pin between the bearing housing (center section) and the Compressor housing. If you remove the compressor housing, you can grind the pin off and then you can clock it.
