Help Greddy heater hose woes....
Anyone go pics of how close your heater hoses are to your down pipe?
I have greedy kit with a ETD manifold and a Tony's downpipe and there touching??? I guess off comes the turbo again to try and re engineer the hoses.
Any idea would be great.

I'm @ work now so can't post pics till the morning.
But trust me the stock heater hose on the drivers side is resting on the down pipe.
I have a ETD manifold and a Tony's 2.5" down pipe and new motor motor mounts so maybe one of those things is causing it to be that close. I never had the stock greddy down pipe on the car or the stock greddy manifold so I don't know the differences in the two but I thought that were an exact replacement.

Looking under the dash there seems to be plenty of room from the heater core to the fire wall to do something different. I bet I could cut it there and run the heater core hose through another hole in the firewall eliminating the problem.
Another thought is to redesign the hard line coming from the front of the motor under the manifold. Only question I have there is the mounting of that hard line to the exhaust manifold bolt. If I cut the pipe before that I would have to find another way to support the line because it seems "loose" in the front with out that mount.
Got a pic? I hate reinventing stuff if its been done before.

The best example i could find on youtube:

Just to let you know. I removed turbo again, and map gassed the hard heater line under the manifold and bent it over behind the oil dipstick. Hit up advance auto and found me a nice shaped heater hose and now I got about 1" clearance......sweet.
