Just remembered...
I've got an inlet pipe made which is 75mm reducing to 63mm for 90 degree bend and then 63mm through the manifold. The idea was to have only one piece of silicone hose joining the pipe to the turbo inlet ( very short piece) I didn't finish it off at the turbo end because of reasons below.
In the end for simplicity ( read laziness...), I made up the one i have just now which has 2 silicone parts, the inlet to turbo and the 90 degree bend. It was thought at the time that the 90 degree S/S bend wouldn't fit because of the power steering header tank, so started the one which is on the car just now.
If you're interested and want a pic of it, let me know.
