josh18_2k is on a distinguished road
on the topic of less bends.. why are turbos never mounted vertically?
the downpipe would point down (where it has to go anyway) and the charge pipe would come directly off the turbo into the intercooler. 2 90 degree bends eliminated.
either mount the filter strait on top, like so many do already, or have a bend there. its on the suction side, so its probably of slightly less importance.
