How different is GC8 vs BG5 IC piping?

[wagonofdoom]

i have a GC8 FMIC setup in the mail. how much work am i going to have to do to make it work?
im really only worried about where it meets the factory piping, as routing actually appears to be exactly hte same minus a small tweak over the pasenger turbo

Should be pretty much the same. It's essentially the same engine, just with a couple of turbos slapped on. I exaggerate, but I doubt you'd have any issues getting it to fit (the plumbing).

I would be careful of any over-engine piping, you may find a lack of hood clearance if the pipes are too big.

You could try flipping the intake manifold too, that will reduce the amount of pipe you have to run... but you will again likely run into hood clearance issues.

ill space the rear of hte hood drifter style for all i care
i just didnt know if there are any major differences between the two.

Did it work?

Im planning to get a turbo set up with a tmic from a member here. I will also get a front mount intercooler for the GC8 set up as well so let me me know if it works. I have a BD by the way...

You're going to have to sort out that whole two turbo outlets buisness. Will need some custom piping done. Other than that though.
