Instead of busting my balls trying to find/fabricate/weld a new intake pipe for turbo-MAF I decided it would be easier to just move the PS reservoir..which my current intake is hitting...causing constant leaks of ATF fluid all over everything.

I found a couple useful bits of info on here...last thing I need is a picture of anyone's setup who has moved theirs, either to the firewall or somewhere else on the strut tower, just to give me an idea of placement. Can anyone chime in on this?

Just use the sohc KA one. It mounts to the passenger's strut tower.

Whats the difference between mounting mine on the passenger side vs. the SOHC one on the passenger side? Just not trying to spend money where I don't have to

Dude if you seriously can't figure out a way to route the hoses without somebody holding your hand then you might not want to try it. It mounts to the other strut tower, which also happens to be away from exhaust heat. You just have to figure out how to route the hoses and what hoses to use.

just mount it on the other side of the strut tower its already on. Keeps it out of the way and you won't have to run THAT long a hose to the pump itself.

or just make a new pipe..;)

no need to be a dick...I was asking if there was a difference between the two reservoirs. If you don't mind, step off my nuts. Thanks for the help.

No need to be an idiot. You have this thing called a brain, you should use it.

It's really not that hard to do, I did it when I was 17 and knew nothing about cars.

They're just soft hoses. Buy some longer ones and put it where it needs to be!

Ding ding ding, we have a winner! Just be sure to use hoses that are designed for use with oil.

There you go...good one. Keep it comin. Sure makes me want to buy things from your business.

I'm not saying it's hard to do. I didn't even ask how to do it. All I asked was if anyone had pictures. Thanks for your input though. It's been appreciated.

And nick they aren't regular hoses. I know that. The have to be able to handle corrosive fluids.

Eh, it's behind the drivers side strut tower. I don't have any pics of the hoses or anything, but I'm sure you can imagine how they'd be run.
