Default PurEvl - Got a Q for ya?

I was looking at the pics of your Intake piping.

I wanted to try to do something similar to my car as well.

I was wondering if you could tell me where you got that big 90 degree elbow thats between your MAF and the Throtel Body? I think I can handle the rest after that. Thanks Bro, LMK, Lata, Ark

I'd like to see a few more under-carriage pictures myself. From the other thread, it appears you have some part of the intake that hangs EXTREEMLY low. I hope that was just an optical illusion, because it would seem like a man-hole covers are your enemy.

I hope I didn't hijack your thread Ark.

Wildman - Its Cool BRO.

I have found some elbows on Ebay. I was wondering if that might be where it came from?

Thanks, Lata, Ark

His radiator will hit before the intercooler piping would.It's really tight up there.It took him some time to find the elbow but I'm sure it is a 3.5 -3.5 elbow that you have to stretch pretty good to get on the TB.

I should have been more clear...
Intake piping. It is hard to tell, but what is the lowest part of his entire turbo system, and is it lower than say the stock exhaust?

This is the image I am talking about:
It appears that the piping right in front of the turbo is about an inch above the ground. Is it really that low?
Thanks.

That is a misleading picture.Actually the Y-pipe is about 1" lower than that pipe.That pipe is atleast 4-5" off the ground.

I bought the elbow from high temp silicone, and its a 3.5 by 3.5" so like slowhawk said you have to streth it a bit for the TB. There coming out with a 4" t0 3.5" in about 12 weeks or so but I didnt feel like waiting Slowhawk can answer all the setup questions better then me. Since hes lost 2 years of his life on the car
