Fitted the new turbo today with the 4in inlet, was wondering what people did with the the pipe work for the air filter ie who they used to make it up for them.

go to a plumbers merchants and buy a 4'' flexible toilet pan adaptor!
its corrugated alluminium, is strong and will cost you around a fiver, and is around a metre in lengh

we dont connect bogs up with ally ducting mate thats for extractor fans the toilet flex's are white plastic with a steel wire in them but they would just melt with under bonnet temps


best is some brake cooling hose from demon tweeks as its hi temp stuff and wont break up normally a red colour

not really kieron
people pay silly money for stuff that quite frankly is a ripoff, because its what you must have!
all im doing here or have done is find a cheaper alternative, its flexible strong and cost peanuts!
but if people wanna go ahead and pay £35 upwards for a bit of pipe then they can.

and yep if your caught short just disconnect the pipe from the afm and let go down there, then:shtf:

:rofl: excellent:lol: :lol: i may even have 2x toilet pans instead of bucket seats, for the nervously orientated passenger:lol:

if i plunb them into the coolant system they can also double up as a bidet
or
better still plumb it in to the turbo intake pipe and you can have a mobile colonic irrigation system too:p

I used a length of agricultural corn feed pipe (Awaits comedy picture of combine harvest with spoiler) IIRC it was about a tenner but that was for 2m.

Its reinforced flexible plastic that is a doddle to route, lighter and more insulative than metal. Its been on there a few years now and hasn't melted or even deteriorated. This is probably because its effectivley air cooled.

The only downside is the the colour..... pastel blue :oops: :wuss:
