But why? Is it leaking? Bolts broke? I have a extra one. Don't understand your post. You must be specific wtb one or your just stating to state?

 

[DJTricky]

i need a new one cus the little metal clip part on the front broke off ant its not seating up to the tb fully ant im throwing codes cus of it lol i was seing if anyone has one i could buy/trade for or if there is some aftermarket way to do that.

cheapest is junkyard...if you want i go to the local pull yard. Whats the most you wanna spend SHIPPED so I know what I am working with?

 

[DJTricky]

well im thinking about doing another 90 degree bend out of the left over 4 inch piping that i have.and going right off the TB. anyone know if that will work?

does anyone happen to know the outer diameter of the TB? im gonna need a reducer i think.

 

[DJTricky]

ok... so i started playing around lol i love being bored. but i found out it will work if i use another 90degree bend like the one in the picture. then it will look just like the one in the above pic. let me know what you all like of this idea.


here is what it will look like with the new 90degree

 

[foreverfalcon40]

looks good! clean welds!

 

[DJTricky]

thanks. that was like the 3rd one i made. lol the rest i burnt through. welding aluminum is so hard. but that one turned out nice. so i used it... i have just a little more then enough aluminum piping to do another. i hope it turns out like the rest.

Im actually interested in seeing how this works...maybe ill make one for myself. Have you receieved my payment DJ? I still havent got your package in

 

[DJTricky]

thats a big negative. it should come in soon. but i will let you know as soon as it comes in.

DJTricky,,,,, That looks Awesome!! What diameter is that aluminum piece you made? It looks slightly larger in diameter than the opening of the intake? You do not have hood clearance issues I will assume too because it look 2 to 3 inches higher than the stocker plastic piece right? Awesome looking welds on that aluminum btw

 

[DJTricky]

hey thanks man, its 4 inch piping that i picked up at the junk yard a wile ago. and no clearance issues because of my cowl hood. it fits with like 1 inch to spare.

If you guys get tired of messing around making your own, there is a nice piece made by Extreme Velocity.

They come with O-rings to seal things up and there is also a riser section if it is too low.

Just something to think about..........

P.S. It also has steering baffles to guide the air around the corner.


Here are some early pictures of the supercharged version before the twins.
