Cold air intake help

I am finishing up on my truck but hit a road block. The turbo I went with leaves little to no room between itself and the radiator cooling lines. Can any one post up what you did and how you did it? My guess is I will need to reroute.rebend new lines. Here are a few pics of the truck.

The hoses and lines that I had to move or reroute were:
1) The upper Trans line into the radiator. On my truck I went with braided lines. Coming out of the radiator I placed a 90 AN fitting towards the battery. Then connected another 90 AN fitting running straight down. This took care of clearance on this line
2) The heater core hose that bends around the battery tray. It got in the way right next to the battery tray. I used A premolded 3/4 rubber hose and routed it up angled towards the battery until clearance was obtained. Then another 90 towards the heater core.
3) On the A/C hole it was just bent a little at a time easily until it cleared.

This worked for me. I don't know if you will run into the same issues as I did.

But maybe this will help you.

My tranny lines have been replaced while mounting a B&M trans cooler up front. Here's mine:

I had to do the same thing when I was still stock turbo:



nello's install is cleaner and I will likely got that route when I go with braided lines someday...

If you can live without AC, it cleans up A LOT of room if you do a complete delete:



What dowpipe are you running for that turbo?
