Default TPI Oval TB coupler?

I'm looking for a TPI oval tb coupler to a 4" dia. transition.

Does anybody know where I can find on of these? Needs to hold 16+lbs of boost.

I used a 4" coupler from High Temp Silicone. Should work on your car too.

Sounds about right.

I measured the circumference with some string and came up with ~12 7/8". The equivalent is just a tad more that 4".

What clamp did you use? Standard 4" T-bolt?

Lightbulb Never seen

I have never seen an oval coupler. It is probably like previous post and has just taken an oval shape. The guys at www.StylinMotors.com should be able to help you out. Always been good to me and beat all prices when asked. Give em a try.

One of the many t-bolts I got from HTS. It's either 4" or 3.75. I forget.

Everything has a price. It's made of high quality cardboard. I got it direct from Maytag.

I would've used the Vortech elbow, but my chargepipe goes down, not left or right.

Thanks a lot fellas.

Tiago, whats the diameter on the inlet of that elbow?

We're trying to use 4" tubing all around.

This is going on an F2 powered 502....

It does look cool.

I think www.stylinmotors.com has 4" couplers. Have not checked in awhile, but I am pretty sure they do.
