Default What is the size of the upgraded inlet tubes for the APS??

I need to find out what size the part of the tube that goes around the turbo. My new turbo measure 3.25inch so I need a tube to go over that.. My stock ones are to small. Are the 427 kit inlets bigger and is that what I need.. Thanks


PS:did a search and couldn't find anything.

I am pretty sure Peter said they had the bigger inlets in some past thread. I am also almost 100% sure they have to be 3 inch inlets as really doubt you can get 65lb/min out of smaller than 3 inch inlets and think he was saying how the upgraded turbos had no problems with inlets collapsing due to better silicone and bigger inlets.
