Plenum Intercooler Adaptor
Turbo Mini Forums

seen them on ebay (the ones that replace the curved section) but they are like ?40, what alternatived are there? Was thinking of cutting it off before the bend and welding a bead around it to help keep the pipe on. Any other ideas?

mike, that works great, I've done it that way in the past.

cool, will get to it. :)

Hows it going Mike,

I am thinking that I need to cut down the transfer pipe which comes up from the turbo to get the silicone 90 deg elbow in which I intend to use anyway. Then I am just gonna get a flat ali plate and tig the cut off bit into it as per the steel ones on ebay

Then weld a bead onto the shortened transfer pipe

Cheers Brocky

Mike,

If you can make the plate and cut the pipe, I can get it TIG welded up or you.

may be abit late but if any of you are interested, ive knocked up a few out of ali that are really nice (imho) i can email photos if you give me an addy........ either pm or mail me..... nutter_driver@yahoo.co.uk

And on the 7th day........... God created turbochargers!

all you need to do is cut the standard turbo outlet down and turn it round 180 deg so its facing back wards slighlty then the 90 deg elbow will fit ok, thats all i done.

always looking for them bigger bunches of bannanas

i got ripped off by that minimandaz

lol getting better service than me as usual!

cut the bend off the plenum and cut 2 in off turbo out let , weld back reveresed then you have a straight into the plenum and 90 on the turbo outlet - simple if you can weld ally -

and what about those of us who cant weld ? You pay the money for someone else to do it for you
