The guy installing the turbo worked at a performance shop before the dealership. They knew exactly what kind of turbo it was and he said hes installed a few of them. They said they got everything hooked up they just need that one coupler then they can run it up

So just a heads up to everyone with Injen Charge pipes. They will not reach the ZFR. 6 inches off.

holy crap, thats dirt cheap. my dealership wanted 1100 just to install my clutch, they probably would want the same for the turbo since the time involved is about the same...good deal man.

Yea, I remember the shop had to take my stock charge pipe off the fitting and slightly pull it up and down to make it fit.

theres nothing wrong with it.... understanding that its possible for warrenty stuff it could mean voiding your warrenty if you have one but just because its a dealership doesnt mean theres nothing but crap techs there. i know plenty of awesome techs that work in a multitude of dealerships and do a ton of aftermarket work in and out of them.

a good dealership will back their work too regardless if the parts are aftermarket or oem. if they gave you a good price go for it.

as far as your issue have them figure out what size coupler is needed and order a longer one from vibrant or any company that can supply different lengths. get one longer then needed and trim to fit. make sure your turbos clocked right too.

How can an injen charge pipe be 6 inches off? And other aftermarket pipes fit? They all go to the same spot?

Some pipes have a 90* coupler which can bend into place. The other charge pipes have the bend and the coupler is just a straight piece.
