Hi Everyone,

I was just wondering if anyone could give me an idea, where I can buy or get a stainless steel intake pipe (between AFM and turbo) made up to replace the factory rubber one? I have seen the Apexi ones on Nengun (very expensive), and I am not really interested in the silicon ones available from JustJap. I am after one that just "bolts up", with the appropriate silicon joiners, and has all the attachments to plug in all the hoses etc that go into it.

I occasionally see them for sale on SAU, but these things go very quick, and I have always missed out....

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Peter

could always try and make one yourself. i did when i changed turbo (needed 100 on turbo side) and it was easier than i thought. just got a bit of 100mm pipe (was ally) with a 45 degree bend in it, cut it to length, drilled a couple holes and found some fitting for BOV and pcv, screwed them in and siliconed them, then just had to buy a 100mm joiner and a 100mm-80mm reducer from turbotech. got bits at different times and with other stuff but probs cost less than $100 all up

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for all the replies! Thanks especially to Ricca for all the sms's, but no action on my part :pirate:

I should be getting my car back this week, so I'll look into the suggested ideas / leads then.

BTW, just a thought - I went to where my car is being repaired and squished in the factory pipe and noticed it was quite firm - would this pipe only "suck in" if the filter was not flowing adequately? I am thinking of a vacuum cleaner here - pipe doesn't "suck in" unless you jam something over the end - so if the filter is flowing enough then it shouldn't "vacuum in" so to speak??

Anyways, I will still be going for a metal pipe, but it was just a thought!
