Have you asked the guys at RRM yet, I'm pretty sure that they would help you out with pics.

Um...I don't think it's that complicated if you really spend that much time on your car. Just find a pic of an intercooled engine bay. The piping is really only going to fit one way.

That's assuming you're using THEIR piping.

Otherwise...if you know half a thing about how a turbocharger works this should be just as easy. You're only changing the routing of the piping on the compressor/intake side, so I guess I just don't see what the mystery is.

Is there something specific you're trying to find out?

you are right about that Hobie, if i did researched and spent enough time with my car, i should know how the piping should go!! but what i really had problem was researching too much??? i guess , I saw RRM's IC turbo set up and there were couple different types. And that was giving me a headache. So i called RRM and they told me that there were couple different set up they made!!! The very first version and the new version they are producing now!!! But i got it now Do you get what i am saying,,, hope you do

You can route it however you want really, but the idea is to KISS (keep it simple, stupid). The fewer bends and the more direct the path from the compressor to the intercooler and intercooler to throttle body, the more effective your setup will be. I don't have any access to RRM's design anymore than looking at pics, but you could either do it the way their pics show, or redesign it if you think you have a better path. I THINK they use 2.5" OD piping btw.

Yeah, just put on a different flange. Or you can do the crappy rubber tube cop out that a lot of manufacturers use for OEM bypass valves.

BOVs are NOT turbo specific. All it requires is changing the BOV flange.

You can use the greddy on their setup but the stock system comes with a 2G eclipse stock BOV. If your making your own setup though you can use whichever one you want.
