Air inlet pipe on compressor side of GT1752?
Turbo Mini Forums

Hi,

Does anyone know which air inlet pipe goes on the compressor side of a GT1752? there is not much flange to accept a silicone pipe with a jubliee clip, and I believe the Saab's had a alloy fitted pipe?

Or for those that do use a GT1752, how do you connect your air intake pipe to the turbo without welding on an aluminium pipe section?

Thanks.

Notay

anybody have an answer for me please?

It you can get old of the Saab v band and ally pipe, you can adapt that to fit.

On mine, I've just got a bit of silicone jubilee'd on.

In the 13's at last!.. Just

I used the Saab V band and rubber seal and turned up an aluminium stub long enough to take the silicone hose.

On an earlier car I did what our lizard friend says - I think I still have one of those Saab inlet pipes kicking around.

Medusa + injection = too much torque for the dyno ..https://youtu.be/qg5o0_tJxYM

This is the stub mentioned above.

I think the best option is to buy the standard saab alloy pipe and clamp, and cut to your required length. The alloy pipe can be rotated to any position which helps with air filter fitting.

hi - is this the pipe?

or this one, for the non aero Saabs - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Saab-9-3-9-5-Cob...=item25998ad3e3

Non aero is GT17. Aero is TD04

cheers theoneeyedlizard, will go for the non aero version then :)

Or just tig weld a stub on.

hi - does anyone know what type of clip the standard saab inlet uses? I have seen many alloy inlets but without those special clips
