406 bottom turbo pipe!!!

[Donkeybubles]

Right then lads iv gone to fit my fmic to my 306 hdi and the bottom plastic pipe of a 405/c5 doesn't fit in the normal place due to a pas pipe running in the tunnel plus even if I unbolt it and stretch it out the way the boost pipe doesn't really fit very well atall and is pretty much touching the rear of the subframe we're the engine steady is just were it comes off the turblower and the pipe also looks bit to long as it comes pretty close to the rad do you have to modifie any of these bits thanks

i believe that the c5 pipe needs cutting down a touch although dont do it off my say so as ive still not got round to fitting mine. i need the bottom pipe

Again im not an expert but on mine it fit really well no probs at all I just had to cut the end down and remove the lugs on the side to be able to push my silivone elbow on further. But on my mates he had the same with his PAS pipe and the 406utp just didnt slot in the gap anywhere near as well. So im not really sure why there's a differnce unless the angle that it connects to the turbo is different on different turbos??

I didn't even give it a thourght about the turbos the one I did it on last night was a k03 and my one that iv Gota do is a garrett so hopefully better fit do you know what turbo you have??

Sounds like your joiner needs a bit of adjustment, ie cut half an inch off it and try again. Only if you've got a spare though lol!

I really dont know I cant remember what it said on the unit?

My bottom pipe was a pain to fit correctly .
Im guessing your having the same dilemna
I got the hacksaw and chopped a little bit off turbo end so it sat higher up and then it bended round everything alot better

[Donkeybubles]

Does that still hold the
Boost ok once you chop the lip off

[Icywalts]

It held well enough on my mates car when we fitting the cooler

[reckord]

Mines holding well hasnt give me any problems
