Default Kraken Intercooler Setup

I've recently become interested in the Kraken side mount manifold and downpipe setup, but I already have a setup ready that includes an ebay cast manifold and an SR20 2254. The only thing I would need now is a downpipe to be made. Anyone here running the Kraken side mount manifold with a T25 that also has PS and AC? I want to see how the intercooler piping is set up on your setup.

Ignore the previous owner's "heat shield" behind the turbo. This is a Begi manifold with sr20 t25. I don't have PS, but I think your routing would largely be the same as this unless you went through the fender similar to hornetball.

That's how mine is set up with my top mount Kraken. I just used 2" piping on the hot side to clear PS and AC.

Before I removed my AC/PS, that is also how I had my piping. I have a kraken top mount manifold as well.

It doesn't hit the hood? The cast manifold I have places the turbo in the same position Flyin Miata has theirs so I got the Flyin Miata intercooler to compressor hose. I might just go with a kraken setup but I don't think the hose I got will fit since the turbo will be positioned more forward with the Kraken manifold. Also hey WigglingWaffles, your turbo will be used soon Really just need a downpipe and exhaust now.

Mine doesn't hit the hood. It used to though. I had to cut my coupler a certain way to angle the 90-degree bend more downward to clear the hood though. Can't you clock the turbo?

Mine doesn't hit the hood. Turbo is clocked so the outlet points up and then there is a 90 degree coupler on it. You can kinda tell that piping is roughly the same height as the valve cover.
