As I pulled it all out there is not enough room with sensor pipe . So I'm wondering how this a stock fit ? Obviously someone has had this happen before so what is needed next then ?

If it is you probably need an intercooler kit to move other piping etc. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/87151-plazmaman-cai-install-pics-and-tips/#findComment-1447685 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plazmaman do a turbo side kit and you need a small battery to make it fit. Unsure if this is the kit you have. I'll find you the link so you can compare.This is one I was reading about. There are pics a few posts down. If I have missed some info reading and posted the wrong thing.... It's because I am new to the forum and still learning about XR6 T's.http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/86847-turbo-side-intake-without-battery-reloc/ Edited 18/01/14 09:37 PM by FGMKII Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/87151-plazmaman-cai-install-pics-and-tips/#findComment-1450917 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sambo87 Member 26 Member For: 11y 9m 19d Posted 28/01/14 07:24 AM Share Posted 28/01/14 07:24 AM It fits but it is very. Very... Very tight.<br />Not even a fraction of a millimeter.<br />1. Tear the whole front of the car off. There isn't an easy way to get this thing on.<br />2. Put the silicon piece on the turbo with the plasma man logo oriented as shown.<br />3. Cut the section of metal away that will be needed to clear the pod as shown.<br />4. Insert the s bend from the front through towards the turbo.<br />5. Swear.<br />6. Swear some more.<br />7. Have a coffee.<br />8. Try again. It does fit.<br />9. Do the rest of the intercooler and piping at the same time because youve already done a lot of hard yards so why not. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/87151-plazmaman-cai-install-pics-and-tips/#findComment-1452286 Share on other sites More sharing options...
