Message Studs,

I'm having a hell of a time getting this stuff to line up. I'm REALLY struggling with the planar pipes......I've taken some pictures and in order I'll break this down.....

Turbos are 2860's that Ash modified

The engine is now set in the car so I've begun to mock up the pipes. I had previously installed the SMIC inlet/outlets in addition to the planar pipes.

I only took pictures of the passenger side, as I assume I'll have the same issues with the drivers side....

Picture of the engine outside the car to show the correct fitment and orientation of the turbo inlet pipe

The planar's have been mounted using both mounting tabs - The filters have been installed to verify proper position.

Now the engine is in the car and I started to test fit the inlet pipe. You can see here that #1, the pipe runs into the PS pump hose, and more importantly, is about 3" too high of where it needs to connect to the 45 degree elbow coming off the planar.

Now I've tried the inverse .I've connected the 45 degree coupler from the planar to the intermediate pipe. I then forced down the intermediate pipe and you can clearly see theres an angular discrepancy between the intermediate pipe and the inlet pipe. By looking at the pics on your FB account, it appears the inlet pipe and the intermediate pipe should meet at the same angle

Thanks guys
