Kirkyyb36 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Dont have a pipe running into the inlet manifold as of yet.. Will the relocation pipe from id workz do the job? And then a mushroom filter?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt1878 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Is this an N/A or turbo?For turbo-The relocation kit doesn't come off the inlet manifold.. It comes directly off the turbo and relocates the filter behind the front bumper..the intercooler piping goes into the inlet.For N/A- I'm guessing the stock air box has been removed?.. You could use the stock piping and fit a filter to that or you could just refit the stock air box and piping Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt1878 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Yes, the FMIC connects to the turbo and the inlet manifold.. The filter relocation also comes directly off the turbo inlet Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kirkyyb36 Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 (edited) Ahh great stuff! Well ive bought the pipes hopefully everything will be okay 😊 what would you recommend on the lines of filter? Cone or mushroom?

Matt1878 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Ahh great stuff! Well ive bought the pipes hopefully everything will be okay 😊 what would you recommend on the lines of filter? Cone or mushroom?Personally I don't run either.. I have meshed the turbo housing itself however if you are going to run a relocation and filter I would say a cone filter. The HKS and ther branded mushroom filters have like a foam inside and I don't like that.. It only takes a little bit to come away and get sucked up inside the turbo..

Kirkyyb36 Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 Ahh right so a pipe literally comes from the turbo straight into the inlet instead of 2 seperate? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt1878 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 The stock efi pipe went from the turbo to the air box.Once that is removed you are left with the open turbo. Then in your case, you will be attaching the relocation pipe to where the stock pipe came off the turbo. This is a 90 degree bend off the turbo and relocates the cone filter in behind the front bumper. (Air con must be removed before doing this I think)The FMIC simply has two sides. A hot side and a cold side. The cold side is the piping from the inlet manifold, down through the engine bay past the battery and down to the passengers side of the front bumper where it connects to the core. The hot side is the piping that comes off the turbo compressor housing(separate to where the relocation pipe is fitted) and goes down around the drivers side of the front bumper and fits to the core Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kirkyyb36 Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 Right i get you just now mate, and yes the inlet is completely open, and a/c has be removed, the turbo had a bit of mesh over the intake but i ripped it off, thankfully the blades seem good and theres no play in the shaft Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt1878 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 That's good .. Many people don't run filters now and like me just run mesh over the turbo.Hope you get sorted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kirkyyb36 Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 Thats what got me confused by not running a filter haha, but thanks for the mate, will get these pipes on and hopefully she'll start haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
