Okay my intercooler piping is 3in hard pipe and the turbo tube is maybe 2in. What type of part is used to connect these two. also i need a 90 degree turn before adjusting to the 3in pipe. i was considering heater hose for the bend. What do you guys think.

Also how can i do the same thing for the throttle body. The throttle body is way smaller than my intercooler piping and i didnt know what was used to connect the two. i know pvc pipe can do this but i thought that would be a bad choice especially being right next to that turbo. Thanks for your help :liebe011:


P.S for those who recognize me :) i did buy a new turbo and i am that much closer. The oil lines are connected and i just need to wait on the V band clamp for the down pipe.

sorry i was not thinking i meant radiator hose to make an elbow come off the turbo and away from the engine and not heater hose.

im sort of in the same situation. but they make transition elbows that start for the 3" to 2.5" or 3" to 2". they have them at a autozone or like on ebay

Dont buy ebay or autozone junk, here are good couplers that are 3" to 2" http://www.extremepsi.com/store/customer/p...cat=1535&page=1

cool thanks

W/e you do make sure its 4-ply.
here is a shitload of silicone I am sure you can find something to work lol

As for the elbo, either weld a 90 degree bend of pipe onto on of the other sections and there ya go. Muffeler shop can help with that. Or at least get a 90 bend and connect it with everything else with some of those silocone couplers.

That's what I would do anyways.

find a j-pipe or go broke

I have one. How would that help? It has a flange with bolts on the end to connect to my external wastegate which i am not using anymore.

the j-pipe goes from the turbo outlet to the intercooler pipe

you need something like this: http://www.slowboyracing.com/estore/produc...99&cat=0&page=1 for your coupler. 2"-3" is hard to find

2.5-3" is easier, but they are all expensive

3 inch piping is huge, You would have been better off going 2 inch.

if you really want to use those then go ahead. i sure wouldn't, and why??? i will not want to end u some where that i don't know and broken down somewhere.

^ he has an RS, he wouldn't be using a mitsu turbo so the J-pipe is irrelevant

but you get the idea about it. take it to a fab shop
