Mox32r Member 34 Member For: 1y 2m 22d Posted 31/03/23 06:10 AM Share Posted 31/03/23 06:10 AM OK seriously now. Is there anything you can upgrade these days that doesn't in turn need everything attached to it either modified or changed???? Just installed the pulsar 3584 gen 2 and there is no way any pipe work will connect to it. How are you supposed to connect it to a filter when it's only like 3inches away from the power steering pump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you got one that fitted into the OEM housings, then it would have probably fit (maybe not other connections like water/oil/intake etc). Plenty of stuff does "bolt in" in the way you're describing.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's kits available or make it yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And maybe cutting the 45 way down might work I guess... 38 minutes ago, k31th said: well, it's a turbocharger, of course you need to change some stuff as it's bigger than the OEM one...

It just impossible for it to work like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it might seem difficult, it's a fairly simple process to getting this stuff to work. There's enough brain power on this forum to do nearly anything, a pipe install will be a breeze.

Mox32r Member 34 Member For: 1y 2m 22d Posted 31/03/23 07:29 AM Author Share Posted 31/03/23 07:29 AM That's with the supplied 45. Although I didn't get the 4"-4" just the supplied 3-4 as I thought I was going to do the battery relocation before I did the turbo. I guess Cutting the 45 back towards the turbo will work, but the return intercooler pipe faces that spot. I feel my choices would be make this work, which would be getting an intercooler that exits on the passenger side and preferably a throttle body relocation to not have to Crossover the engine at all, or put the stocker back on after I rebuild it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will have it sorted for now until you buy the correct parts to make it all work. I don't recommend chopping up stuff you've already bought, you'll need it later You don't need to relocate the TB, Plazmaman do a pipe kit or whole ass intercooler kits to suit the stock location.

Mox32r Member 34 Member For: 1y 2m 22d Posted 31/03/23 08:59 AM Author Share Posted 31/03/23 08:59 AM Yehh maybe. I think I'd rather just sell all this sh*t and put the stocker back on. I didn't buy this to spend money so much money on it. Thanks for the advice fellas. I appreciate it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, these cars go seriously hard maxing out the OEM turbocharger anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
