I asked a few people but didnt really get a proper response..

I have a 45 silicon bend off the turbo and a 45 3" pipe going into the airbox where the battery use to be..

it was rubbin against the power steering pipes which I ddidnt think would be that much of a probelm.. until I had my service and was recommended that I get my power steering pipes fixed which will cost $500ish O_o

I know people do the 90 degree bend upwards but what have people done with the dose pipe going sideways into an airbox , which doesnt effect the power steering pipes.. and is there a solution to fixing the p/steerin from its mild leaking because of this ?

thanks

Id say your best bet would be to goto an exhaust shop and get them to fabricate a piece of pipework to fit in as required. For the sake of a tiny bit more turkey gobble, personally man I wouldn't bother.

You've got the 4" intake which is the best intake setup there is! - Just cram more boost into it

Get YPURV4 to show you his setup. he loves the dosey dose

Seeing as you already have a fluid leak present, you may want to take this opportunity to bend the lines that come out of the pump now so that your dose pipe clears them. Disturbing a non leaking hose will most likely cause it to weep. The alternative to replacing the line from the pump is replacing the nut on the end of it. I am not 100% sure as it has been a while, but from memory its only about $10 from Ford. It is retained by an internal circlip and "snaps" on and wont come off. So, you must use a 4" angle grinder or pneumatic die grinder with cutting blade and "split" the nut... This must be done carefully to avoid cutting into the pipe. But is easy to do, save $450 and only take 30 mins :Welcome2FordXR6t:
