Default Need turbo inlet assembly for old qmp kit?

I put an old qmp kit on my car. the only thing that was missing was the inlet pipling with filter assembly. Im having a hard time finding 4inch tubing with a 90 bend. Any ideas or if anyone has what came with the kit or pics of what came with the kit.

Contact Stainless Works. They continued to make the kit after QMP went under.

It did not go down to 3 inches. There was a tight radius 90* bend towards the inner fender well, that you had to cut on the electric fan for clerance. Then It was either a 4'' or 3.5'' pipe going to the filter.

I know you guys are going to laugh, but PEP BOYS has a section of intake piping they sell with aluminum pipe at different angles. The name brand was Spectre. Here ia a link to a picture I found of what it looks like they sell them in 2,3,&4" sizes and variable angles.

I call stainless works and they dont have any info on the kit anymore. I cant find any pics on here either. Any more help would be great. I actually used the pep boys stuff and went from 4to 3inch. I just think that might be to restrictive. How many guys have a reduction on the inlet?

deadman TA, do you think the 4to 3inch in going to restrict any power? I have that setup right now but i would imagine it would hold back the turbo since it was designed to be a 4inch opening.

Any restriction will cause a loss of boost or air moving etc... If you are not pushing the turbo etc..then a boost controller will fix that to a point. The TTI kit SSilverssurfer and MM are talking about is almost an identical set up so I would think the intake pipe would work without an issure. Good luck.

Since it's on the inlet I don't think it'll be that bad unless you're going for all out power. Like Inspector12 said you can always crank the boost up another psi.

I got mine to build a 4" DP off the turbo and connect to the 3" catback.
