Default Turbo intake s-pipe...?

Anyone know where I can get one? I'll get one fabbed up if i need to but if i can buy one premade that'd be nice... the turbo inlet will be facing the passenger side and it's for an EG. Thanks.

no way to answer this unless you tell us at least what manifold and turbo you are running. most likely you will need to fab something. or put the filter directly on the turbo if you have room.

I was just hoping I could find one that has a shape similar to what I need, and cut/weld/use couplers if necessary. I'd be really surprised if I could find one for my exact application. In any case... I'm using the D-series Ebay STR manifold... the cast one that has the wastegate location in the middle, and my turbo is a 4-bolt .48 AGP Delta 42. I could put the filter right onto the turbo, but I was hoping to avoid taking air in right behind the radiator. My other option is to mount the turbo with the compressor on the drivers side but it sets the turbo waaaay toward the radiator support and I don't want to put too much stress on the manifold or exhaust manifold studs.

If you could post pictures and highlight where exactly you want to mount the filter that would help

lololol yeah its not my engine bay, just the first one i saw under google images. Anyways... i might just mount the turbo with the compressor facing the drivers side despite my suspicions. I think I'm just being paranoid. I've never heard of the studs or cast manifold breaking because of weight issues. thanks though!
