wow, i guess now everyone knows how dumb i am 
to those of you who did your own 3sgte swaps - 6G Celicas Forums
you could probably just take that path and draw the way the 90 degree bents were placed.. with paint or something, since im a big moron and dont know what to do now haha.
Thats actually a nice chop, just need to show the turbo.
Gives you a good idea whats going on behind that radiator

I will return one day.
i went and studied some pics so now im pretty sure i have a better idea of whats going on.. ill just wait for bboy to take more real pics before i make any more busted ass chops hehe 
also bboy when you take pics of that remember to take pics for the clocked turbo thread!

ok heres a view from the top...only difference now is that i have a BOV right up there
the pipe after goes straight down like this...
this pic is when the swap was being done and this happens on both side
then it shoots right under the downpipe...looking at it from the top
again this is a pic when the swap was being done...but right after the prior picture theres a bend that goes straight to the turbo
ok so it takes 9 90 degree bends to do this...hope this helps!

..(formerly daily driven) 3S-GTE powered celica currently set @ 12psi..
is the piece that goes straight under the downpipe just a straight piece of pipe? it looks longer than the other bends.
did you use another one of hte bends from the kit to extend your intake?
ps GREAT pictures they are helpign a ton, ive been drawing on scrap paper haha
nevermind, i counted 9 as well, but said one was straight since you said you used 8.. ok then.. im learning. YAY For me.
thanks a great deal man.. i still wanna know if you extended your intake though, it threw me off to see the pipe and then the filter after the bov
also: i thought you needed new couplers, those look like the ebay ad ones? if so whered you get your new/better couplers

well the bend that goes under the downpipe is the same pipe size/bend as the rest. u just have to cut an X amount of length from each pipe to make it the correct length. my intake pipe is also from the IC kit i bought btw i just wunna let u know that if u go with a clocked turbo you wont have much room to work with because the space between turbo and the radiator fan will be very small AND you wont be able to use the stock 3sgte downpipe (which is huge), ur going to have to buy an aftermarket downpipe like i did

where did you end up finding good couplers?

no the silicone couplers i got from the kit are great...its the clamps i had problem with...they SUCKED. the silicone couplers were nice and thick...very good quality for the clamps all i did was buy IDEAL (this is the name brand) clamps from home depot. these guys (IDEAL) are the same people who make some of the clamps u see in auto stores and theyre very good clamps. i'll eventually buy some real good t-bolt clamps but these IDEAL ones are just as good imo

Make sure you take that XS down pipe and have a welder reinforce it. That down pipe will crack.
I will return one day.
thats defgeph, ill look into that.. where would they need to weld it?
Top of the pipe very first bend.
I put a checker board type cage around it. I popped two holes in the pipe, that metal is so thin. Not the cleanest but it will hold for a very long time.

did you paint your whole downpipe? i think mine looks a little more chrome
>
Yes I did, The chrome wore off for some reason, so I painted it with 2000 degree header paint.
I like it much better. One day I'll make myself a new down pipe.

Hey Brian you are doing this at your house right?
yeah starting spring break which is like march 17th or somewhere around that for us

playr, i have sitting on an engine stand the engine, with downpipe connected, turbo clocked, wiring attatched and finished, transmission attatched, etc..
all that needs to be done is it dropped into a car, everything hooked up, and then wiring run through firewall and mount the ecu.
the only thing stopping me from doing this swap right now is finding a donor car.
