Default Lt1 vortech v1 having trouble

A customer brought me a used v1 kit and he does not want to relocate mass air and im tring to find or make some piping.The mass air flow a 4in to the charger a 2.5in..Any ideas its hard to get piping unless i go ebay and you have to cut and bend.Also only running 8 psi and using 1le rubber elbow..He brought a vortech elbow but dont like the way it looks he wants to try the 1le and see if there is any problems...What do you guys think.And yes my typing skills are not very good.

Man, I really wanted to be an ******* and post -

www.punctuationhelps.com

and

www.yourgrammarisworthless.com

But instead, try explaining what you're trying to do. Post pictures and try to punctuate your sentences. Perhaps it will be easier to get some help.

No, I'm not trying to sound like a dick...

This is how we did it on one of my older setups.

You will want to run the Vortech elbow. Not sure that ILE elbow will like the boost. They rip on N/A applications.
