The Stink w.o The Sause

Yea... I've been reading allot on the SR20 forums and 7 club. Pretty much everyone runs a pipe size that matches the diameter of the TB on the cold side of the IC. Also running a 2 inch from the compressor outlet to the IC hot side is common. 3" inlet on the compressor seems to be a good way to go as well to match the 20g wheel of course.
I'm going to continue digging of course and will carry this convo over to my own build thread! Sorry for continuing to threadjack 9k!

Don't give up your other job to become a draughtsman .
Otherwise - yeah so long as you can still get a decent seal . Be a bit of a waste if you get the flow path improved and then all the air leaks out the side ...
I actually looked at this yrs ago but never did anything about it . My idea was to re-machine the end of the turbo to accept a 90 degree silicone hose ......

I'll need to shave down the actuator bracket a bit to spin the hose fitting on but it works
I will be hitting up Houstonrx8er for that job. The Plugs work perfect, I just need to get some teflon tape on them and tighten them up.

Sounds good man. It will be way easier for him to do it with everything apart.

Shadyscrew31 came by today to show us his mad porting skills
Since my oulet was ported by AMR the matching Greddy pipe didn't match up at all and was quite restrictive so Shady did some work. The Texas8 was this weekend so I didn't get the turbo in but we did some work and got the coilovers installed as well.
