Hi,

 

If anyone has made a turbo inlet pipe on their own, or if anyone would like to measure the dimensions of a pipe similar to the one in the linked photo, then I would really appreciate to get hold of the dimensions since I'm thinking about having one made :) It will be installed together with the standard AMM.

This has been done but on very low funding.

If you're making it yourself, you can make the dimensions anything you want. You just want a pipe of 3" or more with as little bends or restrictions as possible.

 

If you're drawing it up for it to be fabricated by someone else, it's probably not worth it considering the price of the courtenay one

Nice one, mbes2!! :D

 

The idea is that a friend of mine will weld it together and I thought it would be convenient to get the dimensions instead of doing it trial and error because I'm quite sure I won't get it right the first time :)

Make sure you have enough length of silicone pipe at both ends of the hard pipe to accommodate for the engine rocking back and forth by 2 or 3 inches.

Thanks, good point!
