s475 inlet elbow suggestions My s475 with it 5" inlet sits too close to the radiator to just clamp a filter on. It only sits about 4" away from it. A tight 5" elbow wont even make it. Do they make something else I could try?
Thanks

I was thinking of just using something like this bottomed-out into the inlet housing, and using a 5" to 4" silicone transition hose to hold it in place.

Do you think neckinging down the 5" inlet to a 4" inlet would cause any losses? I'm only looking to make apprx 12-14lbs of boost at full tilt. The inducer is only 75mm/2.95", so even 4" seems more than enough. Unless, there's somekind of flow pattern that I'm not considering.

Verdad Gallardo the part from intake hoses is the one you want to order, if you look at their website it shows the correct dimensions. Very confusing because because the racers solutions part is the same part number except for not having letters on the end.
