I'm interested in this too, I struggled to find a hard pipe for mine So I bought a cheap second hand inlet and shoved a piece of 2.5" Ali pipe inside it to stop it collapsing under boost.

Place in the states sell an offset coupler, been looking in the UK but not found anyone yet as looking at doing the same. If it comes to it I might just cut my silicone inlet hose

Just as cheap to buy eBay silicone inlet for £30 and cut the end off to connect to a hard pipe. At least you can cut it wer u want to gain a bit more where you would be slotting over hard pipe.

Had not thought of that, good idea! Ill probably go with the HPS above, looks a decent offset to line up hard pipe.

On the other hand, ive just ordered a new viper turbo inlet, as mine is leaking and need the car.
With the old inlet off, ill have a better idea / pattern to make up hard pipe.

I'll take it if you can firm the size of the openings to fit a VF35?

Thanks
