I'm trying to make a home TID kit, but I need to know what size silicone hose to get. Looking at my existing TID, which is held together with tape, if I take it off, it's finished, so I can't get in there with a ruler. Anybody happen to know?

 

2-3/8 inches at the turbo 3 inches at the air intake end.

 

this might sound dumb, but what is a tid kit?

 

Turbo Inlet Duct. The stupid double-bend accordion plastic thing that runs from the air flow meter to the turbo. I want to replace it with some nice smooth pipe.

2 3/8 inch huh? hmm. I wonder if I can get away with 2.5 inch and a tight clamp.

 

i dont see why not..just make sure theres no leak

 

I'm using a 2.5" silicone clamp now and it seems fine. if you're using home depot piping get the 2" one and it fits since it's 2" pipe ID, not OD.
