Default Angle adapters for turbo intake?
My turbo sits about 2" tops from my frame rail, right now it just has a screen on it, but I want to put a filter. Where can I buy a low profile 90* bend to I can run the filter to source of cooler air?

I'll stick w/ a screen before I do that. I was thinking of using panty hose along with the screen to catch smaller particles. That's if I cant find a way to get a filter on there.

you could prob try the intake duct of the ls1 procharger kit but i dont know if they sell that seperately. either way at 2" u will likely be cutting or sticking with the screen. if u have a good welder to weld for u then u can just notch the frame and have them box it back in.

Its a silicone 90 so it has a flexible state to it.
Like i said, without looking at this in person its hard to tell.
I believe this is the "tightest" 4" 90 made.
The ID of the fitting is: 4"

It'll be a hell of a squeeze, I'll take measurements. I'm just worried that if I crush it too much, it's going to restrict airflow.

Yea, it would be tight!
I understand where you are coming from on the airflow.

Even if you squeeze that bend in there, do you have enough room for a decent sized filter?

Well my point was if I can get an adapter in there, I'm going to route the piping to the hole in the front driver's side where most CAI usually go.
