Default boost pipe question

Hey,

I ave just bought a project RS turbo and i am after some help.

I have not wned a RS turbo before so i do not know what it should look like, nor do i know the engine to well.

This is the only turbo engine which i have really been involved with, before i have not had to poke about to much!

So, What iam asking is if anyone can show me a diagram or detailed photo of how my boost pipes should look as i dont really have a idea!

I am hoping that some photos or diagrams will help me fix my problem

Thanks, Tomm

a photo will only show a birds eye view with all the pipes on, if there original hoses they should be molded to the right shape, there should be 4 boost hose, bigest one goes from the charge carrier (alloy pipe with ford on it) to the top of the intercooler, next one goes from the bottom of the intercooler to the bottom of the turbo, then the wide pipe goes from the turbo (where the fan is sittuated) to the metering unit(bottom right of the engine bay, then the last short stubby one connects the charge carrier to inlet, any other problems then ask anyone on here as they are more than helpful

Thanks mate! I will keep that in mind when fittin them. I have been thinking of replacing them for V-Band clamps instead of using jubile clips.

Would this be worth my time?
