I bought and sr20 s13 with a upgraded turbo (Disco potato). the problem i have is the hot pipe is thrown together by like 10 different silicone hoses and is s***y. since the turbo is pointing downward and its on such an awkward angle this leaves me confused on what hot pipe to get? i want to put something together better then the one on there now and i also need a BOV. so if theres one flanged for a BOV it would be perfect to save the extra work of doing it myself. if there is one made just for this turbo? or if i should get it custom made? also i see that HKS has a hotpipe made for i guess the stock turbo thats flanged for the SSQV. could i maybe buy that and just cut it up to fit and use the silicone hoses to reroute it? or would that be a waste?

sorry if the questions dumb but some pictures of your engine bay with this setup would help me see what is easier. also a good intake that would work well. since that to on the car is thrown together.

thanks

Clock the turbo then get any hot pipe that fits the space you have.

You wont find a hot pipe that says "for disco potatoe".
