Default What couplings are you guys using on the 102 TB's?

I'll be adding my Ls3 with the FAST 102 and going S/D tune. What couplings are you guys using from the lid to the TB?

Thanks
Zeke

4.5" piece from intakehoses.com. My lid is 4" and my 102mm NW TB is 4.5".. So I'll need the step down they have.

I have the FAST 102 Intake and TB and used this first:

http://intakehoses.com/Merchant2/mer...egory_Code=SC4

Fitment sucked and it was really hard to take lid off/on.

So then I switched to this:

http://intakehoses.com/Merchant2/mer...ory_Code=CACH5

Worked perfectly. And allows for better flex due the angle. between TB and Lid.

^ You fit a 4" hose on the 102 TB ok? Or are you the one that's running a 92mm tb? My 102 OD is 4.5".

I've got the same 4" x 6" long ducting and I was wanting the flex pipe. There is an angle from the TB to the lid and I was worried about my lid being "torqued" loose.

I have a Ws6 and my box sits a little higher than the camaro's so I'm hoping the hose flexs a little.

Yup its the 102TB. Its a slightly tight fit but it slides right on with no problems.

I have a Ws6 and my box sits a little higher, I just hope that the tubing will flex just enough to get from the T/b to the Lid.

If not I gotta keep looking, chon how did yours sit?

Thanks
