does running a intake pipe off the compressor out of the headlight make a difference at the track?

 

depending on power level and trap speed, yes but cold air from anywhere other than under the hood wont hurt.

 

mine is ran out the compressor

 

how well does the dryer hose from home depot work? the place where i buy my couplers from locally wants $60 for a 4'' 90* bend 4-ply coupler.

 

I've herd it falls apart easily, I used it to mock up my air duct and it realy is delicate... I wonder were sells super flexable air ducts???

 

I used the dryer exhaust hose to mock my pipe up too and when I took it out for a test drive for the hell of it I wasnt making as much boost as I was with nothing on there at all, I am assuming it was collapsing or the rough bore had something to do with it, use a smooth bore AL or MS pipe, you dont want to suck anything up into your turbo.

Go find a Diesel Truck Parts shop, they should have 3" & 4" bends and straight sections for cheap.

 

what about pvc piping? that shouldnt collapse.
