Help PLEASE!!!! Charge piping problem
 

Today I attempted to fit up the driver side charge pipe off my CCA intercooler. I have a BMC log manifold, a down2turbo T3 .48/.60 and a 95 Eg coupe w/D16Z6. The turbo was a mother to bolt up in the first place as the wastegate actuator bumped up against the power steering bracket, so I cut the far end bolt off and grinded it down, and voila it fit. But now, trying to get the piping to fit on the charge side of the turbo is not going well, as the charge flange on the turbo is facing towards the bumper of the car with about 3.5 inches of space between it and the bumper. I cant move the compressor housing down because if I do that, the outlet flange on the turbo prevents me from bolting the wastegate flange up again. The mandrell 2.5 pipe im using doesnt have enough room to do a 90 bend to meet the turbo. So I have to somehow come up with a way to have the piping do 90 from the bottom and another quick 90 to the turbo. Anyone know a connection method like rad hose or somthing that can bend to meet the pipe? I appologize for not having any pictures, so I will try to draw a diagram to give a little sense to this mess. Once my camera is charged Ill try and post a pic.

can you post some pictures?
there are charge piping connectors that come in 90 degree bends. if you need to connect 2, you can use a small piece of piping with some clamps.

If your outlet on the comporessor is 2"...I used a copper 90 degree from the plumming section at home depot...it looks a little wierd but I had it on my car for a long time and never had any trouble. It looks like this...only it is 2" I.D.
