We also cut down the 2.5” Tight-Radius Cast Aluminum Elbow from Vibrant Performance (PN: 2873) to get the turbo outlet closer to the inlet. Between cutting down the turbo and the elbow, we were able to shorten this distance by nearly 3 inches.
Back on the car, we went to work on fabricating the charge pipe from the turbo to the intercooler.
We used 2.5” Vibrant Performance HD Clamps (PN: 32515) and 3” HD Clamps (PN: 32516) to connect the charge pipes.
With the HD clamps tacked in place, we marked the pipes for tacking.
We tacked the pipes and finish welded the Vibrant 2.5” HD Clamps for the final test fit before finish welding everything. Since everything lined up, we were good to go.
We also finish welded the Vibrant Tight-Radius Cast Aluminum Elbows onto both the EFR 8374 and EFR 9180 compressor housings.

That V-mount design and the way the air intake tucks in perfectly to the side is so cool. I still can’t wait to see the end product! Hopefully Mike can get some vids of it out of you for the YT channel.
Did y’all decide to eliminate the BOV? On this DBW setup, I don’t see one like the original Greddy elbow setup that y’all put together at the first.
