If I convert my TD05 (or fit another FE turbo) is there an inlet hose that I can buy off the shelf to fit my car? The car is a MY94 WRX, but I have fitted STiV heads, and had to raise the original inlet manifold with adaptors to make it fit. I know I will have to modify the fuel rails to get them out of the way, and I already have the late style power steering pump and resevoir. The header tank is an ally one and could easily be modified to move it back slightly. I use a Blitz induction kit.

Samco/MRT/AVO/BPM all make silicone inlet pipes which will fit any of the later classics with f/e turbos.

Or if you have already rerouted your breathers, VTA or No DV etc, you could save yourself a few quid and just use some s/s pipe and samco elbows to achieve the same effect.

There was a post last week about fitting a commercial silicone inlet pipe: http://bbs.22b.com/cgi-bin/ultimateb...c;f=2;t=000039

And another thread discussing inlet pipes with a piccy of my DIY effort: http://bbs.22b.com/cgi-bin/ultimateb...c;f=9;t=000249

You may have to move the power steering reservoir which is no big deal and there has been quite a few posts on that here in the past. Last time i saw, P20 SPD posted a link.
There are several inlet tracts available in flexible silicon. I have had problems with the Samco item but other manufacturers include MRT, BPM and AVO. Try Scooby Mania or Jap Innovations for starters.
Because of the expense you could also consider making your own and venting the crank and two cam cover breathers at the same time. This reduces the need for take offs/inlet branches.
There is also a very soft Prodrive item for not a lot of money if you know someone at a recognised rally operation.

Lateral Performance can supply the Prodrive item.
