i know this may sound like an idiot question, but correct me if im wrong on the path the air takes in a turbo engine.
filter/intake -> turbo -> intercooler -> engine -> turbo manifold -> exhaust
a downpipe is when the path from the turbo is just routed to the exhuast right? :confused:

A better wording of the airflow would be like this:
Air filter-->MAF-->turbo-->intercooler-->throttle body-->cylinders-->turbo manifold-->exhaust side of turbo-->catalytic converter-->muffler-->
The downpipe is simply the exhaust exit from the turbo, back to the catalytic converter. As you know, turbos are exhaust-driven, and all that exhaust just has to go somewhere. ;)

A down pipe is what connects your turbo exhaust maniflod to the rest of your exhaust!:)
