Adapter to use Front Entry on a v2?
Afternoon folks,
I'm looking to fit a front entry turbo to my 90deg entry v2 STi setup, and figured that the easiest way would be to use a 90deg adapter on the front of the turbo inlet to use my existing hardware.
My question is for anyonw who has done this before, what adapter did you use, or how did you fabricate an adapter for this use? I've searched t'interweb and can't find a made to measure one anywhere, so open to ideas??
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated

You need a 90deg. 57mm I.D. silicone (to fit to the FE turbo), a straight 57mm O.D. metal coupler and two jubilee clips. The coupler goes inside the silicone and OEM 90deg ribbed plastic turbo hose and held secure by the clips.
All readily available on eBay or from SFS, etc...

Yeah, defo double check! 
But, IIRC, a regular turbo intake dia. is 2.25" or 57mm.
Regardless, eBay offer all kinds of combinations of hoses, with differing diameters. You can even get 'reducing' ones, where each end is a different diameter.
