we dont send infor to peoples email address cuz sometimes other users might have the same question and we'd like to kno the answer too. if its somewhat personal then we might send you a pm. its also too much of a hassle to log on to our email then write you an answer when we can just simply post it on here. im not looking for a fight im just saying...but as for my answer to your question i would say to just get a universal piping kit off ebay or something i've heard that they work just fine but sometimes the pipe pops off so you may have to get stronger clamps

if you get the universal kit spend some extra money and get T-bolt clamps they are the best and hold better

Dont forget a reducer coupler for the turbo depending on the size of pipe you use. I used the ebay kit and I needed 2 more 90's and a reducer coupler and it bolted up. I payed about $200 total shipped. I have ran 13psi on this fmic with no problems.

not true at all. if people have requests i will send all the pics or info needed to an email address. doesnt bother me one bit. if sumone else has the same question then i have no problem sending more emails.

anyways.
when i did the srt4 turbo swap i just bought one of the cheap ebay 2.5" piping kits. came with all the clamps and everything. but i did need the turbo reducer (had one left over from a hahn turbo kit) and i needed the rubber (hot side) intercooler pipe from an srt4 that connects to the intercooler.

i had tons and tons of pics from every angle of the piping install that i used to email to a dozen people a week but they were only on my last computer when it crashed

Here is a link to my turbo project with the srt-4 turbo. I didnt use the routing most people do, usually they go under the motor between the motor and trans. then up to the turbo. I went all the way around. Take a peak. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3307709 the build pics are on the 2nd page.

i ran from the turbo straight down between the steering rack and cv shaft.
-had to cut off the bobble strut mount
then a 90 degree bend to between the motor and tranny
-had to remove the tranny support bracket
then another 90 up by the radiator over to the passenger side.
then another 90 into the intercooler (this is the part where the SRT hot pipe helps)
from the intercooler
90 straight up
then a 180 degree bend into the throttle body

it was all pretty simply.....kinda
