APS charge pipe came off oncesusp loaded Has any of you had the drivers side turbo charge pipe come off once the car was on the ground and loaded? I notice when it was being alighned that it was off of the turbo hose its self! It looks like the front sway bar lifted or pushed up on the pie its self when the susp was loaded!! It almost looks like the only way to fix it, is the pipe its self needs to be bent down right at or aft the front sway bar!! Any thoughts guys????
I'm running my front sway bar!

Turbo Technology Inc... Ok guys ,I just got off the horn with Nick over ther at Turbo Technologys and he said he's actually the one that makes these kits and they come in two diffrent sizes which are 1 1/4 and 2" I went with the 2" myself since my car was lowered too. There phone # is 253-475-8319 and cost is $75 shipped threw pay pal.This info is for those of you that are having the same problems as me with my front stab bar hitting and pushing off of the drivers side charge pipe and the rubbing threw on the passanger side pipe!! Good luck guys
Hmmm, stock swaybar on the car with no problems now. But good to know that I might run into this if I lower the car. I was planning to eventually go the Strano route. Thanks for the info Ed!

I've tried, turning the pipes upwards and they just dont clear, I dunno, I was thinking of taking the pipes to an exhaust shop to have them re-bent. Unless you guys can suggest otherwise.
Maybe spacers are the way to go.
