otto02 New Member 7 Member For: 9y 7m 27d Posted 01/07/17 11:27 AM Share Posted 01/07/17 11:27 AM Hi all, in the process of installing an efr 9180 to the standard manifold. Who has done it and has pictures of the power steering lines as it looks like it will be impossible to fit an intake pipe without breaking the power steering pressure switch. Any assistance will be much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the original drain line on, power steering bottle had to be relocated. Original water lines needed a bit of bending and cutting too. But it is that bloody intake pipe hitting the power steering switch. Are you using a 4" silicone intake pipe from process west? I am thinking just using a turbo mesh filter and not even worry about having a turbo side airbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potentially better performance and less mucking around. Obviously need to modify dump as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otto02 New Member 7 Member For: 9y 7m 27d Posted 02/07/17 05:43 AM Author Share Posted 02/07/17 05:43 AM Excellent idea! With the standard exhaust manifold the turbo hangs sooo much lower than the gtx35. Too late now. Have you got any pictures of your intake pipe clearing that annoying power steering pressure switch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
