Default For those without an air filter over their turbo (eg. Revhard), check this out...

I had this custom fabricated by an awesome guy at a local muffler shop last week. I just got around to taking pictures today...

Just giving ideas for those who are having a hard time fitting a filter over their compressor if the kit didn't already come with one...

This fits really well, quieted down the car slightly, and most importantly keeps my turbo clean..

You can get mandrel bent tubing from JC Whitney. Alot of people have been using them to make their own CAI. I would think the same could be done to make your intake pipe for the turbo. Just measure up the size opening of the inlet and order that size. I believe its pretty dirt cheap. I don't know if they would have the rubber connectors to clamp it down though.

NICE CLEAN ENGINE!

thanks for the comments...
I paid $120 for the labor, filter, piping and connector (supposedly this is a much more withstandant material than silicone hose - and very expensive - He paid $45 for a 1 foot section of this stuff)...

you don't think that the piping would melt at all, being attached to the blazingly hot turbo?? i don't wanna buy something and have it melt. i just need a pipe and filter to keep **** outta my turbo.

um... the mandrel bent piping is STEEL. I hope your turbo doesn't get hot enough to melt it. Particularly on the compressor side.
