99/00 Intercooler with AC/PS
#43
Once I get the manifold, we have one last idea for 2.5" pipe. (Move P/S reservoir back, move a/c relays, go down)
If that doesn't work (it probably won't) I'm going 2" pipe on the hot side. Cold side is super easy, and already test fit (just haven't cut pipes yet) with 2.5" pipe and fits fine. DNMakinson may have some extra 2" pipes from his car, so I would just go pick those up and order what ever else needs to be bought.
BUY NB2s.
jeez that hole would make this easy.

Agree with you on it really not being much of an improvement. At this point it's just kind of one of those things, I bought it already, why not try to make it work? (Bought used(new) here for a good deal). At the point I feel trying to make the 2.5" pipe fit is more work than I feel it's worth vs. buying the pipe, I'll call it. I bought a finned P/S cooler to make the i/c fit, so I have to fool with the reservoir and lines anyway. To each his own though with mods though. I've tried to keep things pretty stock so far, and these mods would be pretty easily reversible if I go that route.

EDIT: A lot of people have IWG issues when clocking this way using a front mounted IWG. Mine mounts to the back of the compressor housing.
EDITEDITtoActuallyAnswerYourQuestion: It is against one hose (a/c high pressure). Everything else had at least an inch of clearance.

haha, yeah it was exactly where I wanted the filter to go. Haven't decided where it's going, or whether I'll buy a shorter unit. I replaced the p/s cooler with a fin typed one, so I needed to re-route lines anyway. No biggie to move the reservoir somewhere else while I'm at it (so long as I can find a decent location).

I went looking for this thread for a picture of my mounting brackets and didn't realize it had been necro'do. Since this I have pulled my ac and power steering but I kept the same routing because it's been good to me (and too lazy to change lol.) also repainted the engine bay while I had the motor out
Oh and leave my blue couplers alone!
No? Maybe your talking about something else? Obviously I have stock lights :/
