maybe you need to bend the turbo system corssover itself in some way.

the only way to fix it using the turbo crossover would be get a new pipe or extension, which im considering

Put some rubber where it touches

Am I seeing things or is that your intercooler by the crossover?

I see the bite marks.. Dont be grabbing those lines with pliers and bending them..

Have you considered whacking the crossover with a hammer to create some clearance ??

Yup...

Can't you put a "dent" into the area of the crossover pipe that's a problem?

=/ Kits really should be "bolt-on"

This is somewhat of a joke... but, its not as big of a deal as you are making, just bend the lines out of hte way, I had to on my kit. Your car was never designed to have a big ole turbo and a bunch of exhaust pipes under the hood. lol

Why cant you just take the line off and bend it into the alternator a little more? Would that work?

mine are almost the same but I bent them a little more than you did and wrapped my cross over, youll be fine.

You're putting a TURBO KIT into the engine bay that's barely large enough for the motor itself. You should pretty much expect having to tweak things here and there. This isn't like installing a Tornado in your intake tube, this is a real modification

Smearin

Wait.....

I have a Tornado on my car... at least thats what I tell everyone the sound is..

Its a real mod...

You'll be perfectly fine, those lines bend relatively easy. Just don't bend them back and forth over and over again too many times or you'll run into some issues. They really are made of that material to be able to flex SOME. Other than that it looks good! Let us know how it works out!

I bent the HELL out of those lines to make it clear and then wrapped them. thats what it takes to make it fit.

Why not pull the lines and replace with braided -6 and reroute them?

All the fittings are available.
