TID strange size inlet on turbo, any reccomendations?
 
I need a new TID, I can get a 2.5 to 3" couple no problem and i have the 2.5" aluminum piping, but i cant find anything local to adapt the 2.5" to the turbo inlet, any advice for me? Anyone stretched 2.25" on there by any chance? I might be able to get that, or perhaps some hardware store might have something i can use, i'm trying to make autocross the 17th.

I've stretched 2" couplings onto 2.5" no problem, and even 2.5" on to 3".

So i guess i will try and get a 2.25 or 2 on there then.

not cheap but good product:

the stock TID is 2.5" IIRC...

The stock turbo inlet size is 60mm.
It's slightly smaller than 2.5".
2.5" = ~63mm

I actually have a bunch of red couplers that are 60mm inlet but 2.75" outlet.
I stretch the 2.75" side to slip onto 3.0" O.D. pipe.

I got some heavy duty 4 ply couplers to to stretch from 2.25 to just under 2.5". A little heat goes along way. As does the wholesale size tub of KY I keep handy at all times :suspect:
