I'm searching on my phone and I'm having trouble locating pics of the Trick cast manifold mounted up with a waste gate. This is on a 08 Silverado

 

What are you looking to do?

 

trying to see how far I need to bend the a/c line out of the way from the waste gate mounts

 

It wont work. I tried on mine and ended up taking the line out. My brothers 2010 we moved it but eventually the heat blew the line. He has a custom line and im gonna wait on mine. I just left the shop where my truck is at or id take a pic for you.

 

2part process

TOP AREA
Take the aluminum joint at the accumulator.
slip a wrench over that joint. use a rag between wrench and joint. Using a screw driver as "T' handle you will need to move the joint towards the passenger side.(twisting motion) Taking care NOT to kink that small amount of aluminum tubing. You will also need to hold the accumulator from moving while doing this.

Bottom AREA.
you will need to pull that same hose at the compressor towards the passenger side and rearward. I use a rag and just reach in and pull the crimped area from the side of the truck. .
Same care needs to be taken.

You want that hose as far away as possible from the down pipe. 1":+
The AC hose will be touching or almost touching your battery tray.
Once done install the silver thermal sleeve. Have seen customers even use a zip tie from battery tray to make sure hose stays away.,
You will need to shift your hi side line over as well to get the low side line close to battery tray. Hi side is the small one.

NOTE it is almost impossible to move the AC line at the compressor from the top of the engine area. Much easier to do with passenger side withtire off.

Any pics of the custom line?
OK thanks for the details.
It's touching the tray almost. I'll keep working on it.

 

Make sure to work both ends of the hose.

Looks good..... Another option is to dremel or use a angle grinder, to remove part of your battery tray. This is what I did and put edging material on the edge you cut, like the plastic stuff people put down the seems of car doors to protect against chips or dings. I also built a bracket that actually holds the a/c line away from the turbine housing, this works really well and you end up with piety if room
