Looks like some home made intake piping and a place for Meth or No2 injection?

where did you get that, do you know what the ID & OD is?

I think it's an adapter for the compressor inlet of a SC.

Looks like somebody with a hammer, two hits of acid, and a welder got bored.

Throttle body intake transition for an F-body turbo setup, if I had to guess judging from the quality, I would say something from RR?? Is that one of the few parts that actually got installed on your car? I don't remember seeing that, but it's been awhile

xssive, Cable and Ed are very close. It's an Incon maf transition tube that's been opened up for a 90mm tb, extended to eliminate the maf and drilled for a meth (or crack) nozzle.

After I finish sanded and coating it will look a lot better....it's just been welded and tumbled in the pic. Fits like a glove between the tb and Incon y pipe.

kp makes a valid point though, you have to be on crack to FI an Fbod...no room for anything on these cars.
