Joshua Fletcher New Member 11 Member For: 5y 7m 17d Posted 19/02/20 01:54 AM Share Posted 19/02/20 01:54 AM I'm wanting to buy a turbo side intake for my ba but I still have the factory cooler and piping, just wondering if the factory piping gets in the way or not?

Either to boot,the passenger side or under headlight/behind bumper. For battery relocation kits, be sure you are running aftermarket intercooler piping, factory intercooler piping will not work with turbo side intake kits as it will not allow the 4” pipe.
