Hey everyone,

I am looking at this SF Turbo setup here, and I think I might be missing a part of the intercooler piping (the one from the air filter to the turbo intake)...and the one in the upper left seems to be smaller than the others, I have a small tubing connector for it, but what does it connect to?

Thanks



Any comments will help. I might have to get one fabricated because I doubt that Mike from SF will help me.

I see one of the pipes for the air filter to turbo intake.. the one that attaches on the filter end. what I don't see is the one that attaches to the turbo end. also not in that pic is the pipe that connects to your throttle body.

here's my kit:

Looks like a nice kit, yep I do seem to be missing that one in the middle bottom (the really bent one) - how hard do you think that might be to get fabricated, I don't have any dimentions for it?

And where do you use the one I circled, the circled end on mine is way smaller then the other end, and will only fit one of the rubber attachment pieces. Where did you use it, and was it smaller too?

that pipe goes from the turbo outlet bound towards the intercooler inlet (attachs to one of the U pieces)

the one in the upper left connects on the cold side outlet like mex said.......it is 2.00 inches

the one that you are missing is the air intake......it is 2.50 inches

all other pipes are 2.25 inches

also.......for the TB.......you will need a 2.5 inch coupler

one more thing........you will need a transition coupler (reducer) ........2.5 ----> 2.25

FYI:

Speaking from experience, that pipe was a bitch to get on and stay on. I blew it off twice in a week. Make sure your clamps are tight.

indeed.. the first thing i did after i received SF's kit was order silicone couplers.. best investment ever!

Perfect Idea, where from should I get these?

i bought my silicone couplers from here

www.atpturbo.com

and i got my T-bolt clamps from here

www.partssytems.com


i shopped around and that is the cheapest that i found.

btw......like i said b4......... all pipes are 2.25"

you will need (2) 2.5" .......(1) transistion (reducer) 2.5" --> 2.25" and (1) 2.00"

if the pipe is too hard to get onto the turbo, the compressor housing is made to rotate. There are 5 bolts to loosen and the compressor housing will turn. Also, if the pipes seem to be blowing off........use a little hairspray.

Thanks fot the great info, but I can's seem to get on to the www.partssystams.com. Is the address correct?

Well it looks like I need to have the air intake pipe fabricated. Is there any dimentions or drawings with measurements I can use to give to someone. Was is two 90 Deg bends welded toegether 90 Deg appart, or bent from one piece?

Also what is the best material to get this made out of cheaply, it is not under any pressure right, just a slight vaccume? Can I use a flexible hose of some sort?

Why is there a pipe that has a 2" end that connectes to a 2.25" end, and why is there no included coupler for it, did anyone get it? Doesn't that affect the airflow through that section, suddenly compressed then expanded again before going into the TB. And is the TB hard to connect up, it seems to be oval shaped!!!!

sorry, i typed it wrong........

the pipe with the 2.0" end connects to the outlet on the cold side.

the other end connects to a 2.5" pipe which is the air intake pipe........the one with the air filter on it. This is where i used the transistion coupler.

Sorry, finally trying to get this straight...

Air filter connects to the 2.5" pipe that is bent 45 Deg, connects to the pipe I am missing (2 rotated 90 Deg bends that is 2.5" at both ends) connects to the turbo intake 2 3/8" (is this where a coupler is needed?).

Compressed air comes out the bottom of the turbo where the pipe with the 2" end goes to one of the u pipes 2.25" into the intercooler (top or bottom?).

Cooler air coming from the intercooler 2.25" to the J-Pipe going up 2.25" to the 90 Deg Pipe 2.25" to the small BOV pipe.

And this seems to have an oval shape? To connect to the TB intake (2 3/4" x 2 1/8 it the size of my oval)??? What size is the TB? Is this where I need another silicone coupler?

Some verification or clarification would be greatly appreciated by you guys.

Thanks a bunch.

Just double checked the size on the turbo compresser inlet - 2 3/8" it seems to have been turned down from a 2.5", and my 2.25" coupler is too small while the 2.5" one is too big, what can I do here besides use the 2.5" one with some extra wraps of tape or something like a bunch of large o-ring's?
