Im almost ready to do my sr swap and i was wondering what should i do.
I have a front mount intercooler from a skyline gtr

(i dont have the pipping,have to find somebody who can make it ),ill probably have to cut most of my bumper (wich im not too happy about),also relocate my battery in the trunk .

this one run the cold pipe underneath the battery,wich way is better
relocate the battery or run the pipe under the battery

Also this season will be the first one ill be drifting on the track with my car (pratice event)

So would it be more reasonable to run a side mount for this season,and save the trouble to cut my bumper,relocate my battery and have to find somebody who can makes piping,and wait for next season when ill have more skills.

Also:how much boost i can run with a side mount,how much hp will i have.

And how much will a side mount cost.

I want to buy a walbro pump from rav speed,i read on a forum somewhere :somebody asking rav speed if they had the kit with the longer filter,does it make a different,and if so,what difference

I want to get a 3 inch exhaust,downpipe and a turbo outlet.
I heard that its better to get a outlet with the separation in the middle,also a downpipe with a flexible like megan racing,is it true?

Thank you

I have that exact downpipe and elbow. I'm also using an SSAC bottom mount T2 manifold. With a T25, the down pipe presses against the bottom of the floorboard. Right where the 90 degree bend straightens out to the rest of the car. Also, that turbo elbow seems like a huge restrictor and it doesn't fit the turbo right. The flange wasn't completely flat either. I think its a bit shorter than a stock T25 elbow. I'd recommend looking for a better one. But it would get you by if you got a good deal on one. You could probably just dent in your floorboard a little and it would work alright.

My cold pipe for my FMIC went on the side of the battery and then straight down to the IC, it's a pretty easy setup. Ill see if i can get some pics for you!
