Turbo fitment nb8b

Postby MXO00V » Sun Jan 18, 2015 6:01 pm

hi there
I have a nb8b with a gt2560 on a low mount manifold by suli from pure fabrications
I am having issues fitting it
the intake to the turbo is just touching the coolant hose on the side of the block
What have people done to get a bit more clearance?

Was thinking a 30mm right angle then alloy pipe to join to stock coolant hose
Not sure if it will work

If its not going to chafe (no relative movement between the two parts) I wouldnt worry too much about the cold side. Turn the clip so it cant rub on anything. Most worries should be about the hot side.
