Will the standard intake pipe fit straight onto an SC42?
Scoobyclinic website says that the turbos are direct bolt on etc. But I just want to make sure all my bases are covered...
So I assume that the standard turbo intake pipe will fit onto an SC42? Or will I need to go for an aftermarket silicone pipe?
Cheers

Usually, if something is described as direct fit, then you shouldn't need to modify anything else.
In any case, a silicone aftermarket hose will be exactly the same pattern as the OEM plastic hose, so that aspect wouldn't alter, regardless.
The only reason you might HAVE to change to a replacement hose is if the turbo's inlet was 76.2mm (3"), instead of the OEM 57.1mm (2.25"). (Regardless though, you can still change to a silicone hose should you wish - as many people do). But because it's described a direct fit, then it will - or at least should(!) - be the OEM size inlet.
And for the record, their SC range ARE all like-for-like direct fit (i.e. for both SS and TS variants).

I know where you're coming from.
I'm exactly the same... Nothing worse than when you're halfway through a job and it suddenly dawns on you that you don't have everything at hand to complete -- despite being all conscientious beforehand by collating everything together you THOUGHT you needed. Immensely frustrating/annoying!

From doing some more research, it certainly appears that the standard inlet pipe will go straight onto the SC42 housing. Although it looks as if good branded silicone ones have performed better - SFS, Perrin, Samco etc.

SC42 is direct fit, original inlet pipe will fit however recommend to upgrade to perrin while your at it, as said, good brand required as cheap ones collapse under boost!

Are there gains there ?

Who knows if it would have made a bit more on an internally smooth silicone...?

I did the same on my STi 5. Still made 384 (on a 20g) with the std plastic intake hose in place. (I too was worried about collapsing under boost, so simply took that aspect out of the equation... And saved up to £200 to boot).

Road software says approx. 427bhp & 380ft/lbs so anything above 400 will keep me happy

Can you get silicone intakes with just the one take-off for a recirc DV? I know RCM do a black one, but that is as you describe i.e. NO take-offs.

RCM do one.

Says for the Hawk. But it looks like it will fit under all the years' inlet manifolds (MY93-96 aside, because of top entry turbo).
Mind, that diagonal angled bend might be a problem...

That bend at turbo end is important as most don't have a good kink like that and cause it to get trapped behind inlet manifold.
Good find.
I have the lateral one.

Picture is just illustration but they have a kink depends on version and some manifolds have less room than others
