Just wondering what angle pipe people have used when changing the top boost pipe from the egr valve to the standard intercooler.

It seems choices are limited to 90° or 45°!

Does 45° work ok?

Have read of 45s and 70s! Have you read the "top boost pipe replacement" thread?

I used a 90 degree angle off the EGR replacement pipe.

Yeah I've read the thread, I've also had his car for over a year now

He has a 70° bend on his but I was thinking of using a 45° bend insted, the angles are pretty close when side by side but didn't know if it had been tried and tested.

It's basically because I have a spare "setup" but don't want to sell it it someone if it doesn't fit. My car has a fmic on now so can't test fit or match up.

70° angle

45° angle

What length after the bend did you use?
