I am going to be installing a front mount intercooler very soon and have been exploring different routing options. I have already ordered a PD130 intake (gearbox facing) so I do not have to back track from my intercooler(outlet on drivers side). Going to be using 2.5" IC piping with my GTB2260VKLR. My question stems from the attached photo. I feel that the pancake pipe is a large restriction compared to the rest of the IC piping system. In the attached photo, the person seems to have routed out of compressor up to the area where the charge pipe would normally connect to the intake.
My question is, do you guys think this design is superior to the pancake pipe from a 1.8t? From what I can see, it looks like it would look have much less restriction.
Thoughts?
Thanks everyone!!
