Mandrel Bent Turbo Piping...Angles?

Hey, really quick, I need some info from those who have TC'd Civics! I need to know the angles of all the piping. Would a 180* and a 90* be enough to have a good fit for the intercooler piping. I need a list of every pipe, cuz I'm gonna try to put in an order this weekend for a shop to make the stuff. Thanks!

+1 It would be REALLY helpful if someone could post this up, so we can pin it to top of the F/I section.

One thing you gotta clarify tho, is what year/model/trim car you have.

EDIT: Just saw that yours is a 96 HX

Guesstimates are fine. I mean, it's easy to tell a 180* or 90* bend. There shouldn't be any others than that, I just don't know how long each should be or how many of each there are to make up the whole system.

I'll be pulling my turbo kit out in the next 10-14 days, if no one has done this by then, I will take a pic of each pipe, the angle, and length as well.

Nevermind 'bout my problem...Found a cheap kit locally. But it would still be good to know for future TC'ers. If you don't do it 97, when I get my shipment in, I'll do it.

there is a really nice DIY sticky at the top of this page that shows how to make your own intercooler piping and how to cut it and everything you will need.
