Default APS Turbo Inlet Pipe System

Does anyone know where I can purchase one of the above in the UK?

I have a FP Green Turbocharger (3" inlet) to fit shortly and the APS kit would seem to be ideal for my needs, if you have one fitted to your car how easy was the kit to fit?

No the pipe that connects the turbocharger to the inlet side of the engine.

Seem to remember that Dynamix had this very problem and the filter supplied to fit in this small space is too small to get the most out of bigger turbos.
If it has to be a wing mount then look at 3" wing intakes like the Hyperflow or AEM systems.

I have got an RCM induction kit fitted at the moment which is inside the engine bay, I think the RCM kit is big enough to cope with the demands.

Try over on NASIOC, a company called RallyDirect (thats the user name on the forum iirc), theyre pretty useful when it comes to APS stuff.

Thanks but I rang them earlier today and they are out of stock and will not be having any more until November/December at the earliest so I will either have to buy from the US or go down another route.

Can anyone recommend any other manufacturers such as Perrin, Samco (but I have read reports of their hose sucking flat), etc.
