Hard Turbo Inlet Pipe, APS/AP/AMS etc
Folks does anyone have a hard Turbo inlet pipe for sale, as I've got a Samco on at the mo but it's starting to get sucked in above 5.5k rip in 5th gear.

The Subaru manifolds have a offset turbo to inlet depending what manifold is fitted, so best making a copy of your current Samco out of a ally pipe.

Yep I know and don't see them pop up that often and if you don't get the correct silicone coupler it can cause a bad kink in it which will restrict flow, they only a straight pipe with silicone joiners.

I got an aps one on nasioc a few years back, they pop up more over there for sale. Mine came with two couplers that are offset as shown on bustas pics. One of them is larger for bigger turbos. I did mine in situ which I would advise against and would take the inlet off and put spacers in that too while at it. The offset coupler actually works well when fitted correctly as it has to get round the inside back edge of manifold. As busta said best do it custom. Take off the inlet and put spacers in, 2 benefits as keeps the manifold cool and more clearance for intake. Once the inlets off you can really see and plan how u want ur intake. Also check and replace with new or better the fuel lines that run under the inlet once off. As I left my inlet on and had to twist n turn n swear n shout tryin to get the inlet in I caught one of the fuel lines but didn't notice til id put it mostly back together again. I also managed to brake a pipe off the purge control solenoid so that's why I say about taking the inlet off!! The spacers with the o rings in are good as u don't need 2 sets of gaskets for each side!

Iv done plenty of them now without removing the inlet or using spacers lol , my current one is a forced performance one and is a 83mm inlet and still didn't have any problems fitting it with everything still in place ,, running 531bhp without any sign of collapse

Well tried fitting an RCM pipe and had no luck as it kept popping off the Turbo as we tried to line up the Inlet manifold. In the end put the sh1te Samco one back on that turned out to be only 3 layer and put some steel pipe inside it to make do for the time being. Power dropped from 470 to 420 just by fitting the rings inside.
Rotated will cure the issue, it'll also cost a few ££££

I'm running a lateral one, although it looks crap in blue lol but does the job well even at 2bar. It's ribbed with metal inside.
The rcm ones should be as good I'd of thought, depending if correct kink for manifold used.

You fitted one of these? http://rogerclarkmotorsport.co.uk/st...induction-hose

Good piece of kit but kink to connect to the turbo was no way near enough. Car is a 2.5 UK STi running an MD321V and inlet spacers. I did think about buying a Spec C manifold to give some more room and adjust the up-pipe over to the right to allow the inlet pipe to fit straight in.
I think we'll try and adjust the up-pipe to see how much wiggle room there is, if that gives us any more room then I'll look at the lateral one from mark.

Which rcm one? What car version inlet is it etc?

I know rcm do a specific precision turbo pipe as they say in listing something todo with turbo sitting off centre.
It should fit perfectly as per their listings, if it doesn't then I'd be onto them to tell them.
No, my lateral is the stock size 63 I think but you can get the bigger ones too.
The lateral one fits perfect and I'll see if I can dig one out but not sure if I got one.

Can't find a picture at hand, I reformatted my iPad and sent all pics over to laptop for storage so I think if I've got any, will be in my thread. Sorry.

I might be able to get a few made all at once from a guy local 'apw engineering' in Barnsley.
Google of search on facebook for the quality of their work, they do all sorts from full exhausts to manifold for skyline engines etc across Europe.
But he's always busy and hard to fit me in unless I hassle him, it's only a small job mine compared to their regular work.
But if I can get a decent size order in then it may sway him if there's enough interest like say 10 people. (Group buy anyone?)
