The last one with the 088 is how I would like to run my passenger side but I am worried about the pipe touching my radiator hose and rubbing a hole in it? It looks like that one is touching also?

What are people doing with their over flow and washer fluid tanks?? I've been wanting to move mine for some time now to create a better intake situation also while I'm on the subject of air intake, I can't even see them on a couple pictures here

That looks very similar to the banks intercooler kit that used to be available. I am thinking for me I am going to use a second windshield washer resivour and stick one on each side underneath the battery tray. The passenger side will be for coolant, and the drivers side will be for windshield. This will only require minimal additions in wire and hose to use the washer in another location and give room for a cold air intake. I plan on using two of the factory brackets for the resivour as well in order to mount them.

I was mostly worried about routing because of flow and lag but it looks like it's not affected to much by length or bends in the piping? As long as I have not many 90 bends probably nothing to worry about

I think it might be something to worry about if you had a supercar, but on a idi diesel I think there are other things to worry about. Yes having 90* bends do add turbulence to the air and change how it flows, yad yad ya. I dont think it will even be noticeable. Beside my lag on my hypermax system is less than 2 seconds from 0 psi to 10 psi. and compared to others i have ridden in it is pretty normal, some are faster some are slower. Honestly you adapt to drive your truck the way it is setup and honestly probably wont even notice. with me i hardly ever do.

The lag couldn't be any worse than my 088 with 5 exhaust leaks a anyway lol since ive got typ4 modified factory kit now it's 0-15 psi rather quickly I just didn't want to loose a bunch of pressure with crazy pipe routing

I think you will notice what you lose in lag and cruising psi you will gain in cooling abilities, especially pulling a grade or towing.

I don't have much f a heat problem right now I was hoping for some performance gain also after 10 boost pressure doesn't seem to be adding much more pull to it because the air is getting hotter with the pressure going up though right?

Correct the hot is much less dense so you may be seeing 10 psi but it’s newrly 300* that would be the same mass of air as 6 psi at 0* (not really mathed put just an example)
This means you can cram more mass of air at a lower boost pressure therefore not compromising your headgaskets at all. However this will not fix overspinning your turbo trying to get 20 psi out of it, being out of its efficiency range as boost increases power gains start to drop off as the exhaust turbine becomes more of a parasitic load or restriction on the engine

Sorry that was so lengthy I just chugged a monster getting ready to swap two transmissions and clutches today :drunk:
