[QUOTE="clemsonjeep, post: 678329, member: 6317"] One thing always leads to another. In this case the braided line from the shock to the reservoir on the driver side was trying to occupy the same space as the air filter which was mounted directly to the front of the turbo. That wasn't going to work so I asked Ryan about putting a 90 on the shock...but that would have required tearing the shock apart to do or I could have have a local hydraulic shop crimp a 90 on the braided line, but that wouldn't have worked out either. So I decided to build an intake pipe to move the filter out and away from the turbo and that would allow me to make it clear the hose. Tonight I built a small bracket that will be welded to this new tube and then to the same tube the shock is mounted to in order to secure everything in place. I may have to go to the exhaust shop and get them to open up the end that goes over the turbo. Right now its a good "press" fit over the snout, but if the motor is moving and the tube is mounted to the chassis that probably wouldn't work out too well over time. If they can open it up a little I could put some rubber hose over the snout and then clamp the tube over it. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
