I installed the nonvgt setup back in March.
Ive had the DC Power alternator for a couple years now.
I had some slight clearance issues with the Stage 2 VGT turbo, Riffraff boots, and stock charge pipe on the hot side.
The pipe was super close to the alternator and would rub at times.
I swapped over to the nonvgt, and tried the stock hot pipe.
Really tight, even worse than before.
I bought a set of Mishimoto pipes and boots.
Their hot side pipe is even worse than the stock pipe.
Their pipe uses pretty much a 90* pipe, with no other radius or bends.
They use their boots to make the alignment work.
These pipes a bit larger diameter, so they wont accept stock or Riffraff boots.
Now I have two clearance issues- the DC Power, and one of the AC lines.
I am willing to bet I am not the only one who has run into this issue.
I have seen a couple pics of guys who are using a different charge pipe, and a 45* boot. Not sure what those parts are from.
Any insight on this one?
TIA
