Default AC line bending help

I had to switch up my setup to a pfab log. Can someone here that has done it tell me how they managed to bend the ac lines in order to fit the turbo?

I'm pretty sure they just relocate them or take the AC out

So it's not possible to bend the lines? Relocation would be cleaner but I'm not trying to get into Super Street lol. I live in FL so I need ac as well but would like to avoid going any deeper into this for clean points.

It is possible to bend the AC Lines, alot of people do it, but me personally wouldnt do it. I went with a relocation kit. I also live in FL so i know what you mean by needing AC lol

I tried to get said relocation from the guy selling them and never got an answer, you can find them all around the web though for around $250-$300

Thanks guys but I'm really just trying to see if I could get some tips on how to bend the lines from someone who's done it. Like what tools should I use, or can they be bent with hands and brute force etc.

Bending with your hands will cause it to kink. You need a hand bender in whatever size the pipe is. Fuel and brake line bender is to small and next thing I know of is for conduit which is 1/2". Look around your local hardware store and see what you find
