IC piping will go the SE route.


Mine is not a Kraken, but they appear to place the turbo in a similar location. The heater hardline under the manifold will end up pointing in the general direction of the down pipe. The TSE instructions require bending it ‘towards the firewall’. Mine will be looped (no heater core) and so I will probably tweak the hardline so that I can get a reasonable hose return to the rear water neck (reroute).
