For about ~$90 US you can build a custom 3" TID with a 3?2.25" transition to the turbo.

The 45º bend is $50 and made of 2-ply fiberglass reinforced silicone.



Add in the nipples and it gets to be a little expensive. I may just buy the transitions unless someone knows where I can them cheaper.

I just made my TID mod and it cost me about $20 not including the air filter. Its 3" all the way with a transition to the turbo at the end.

Why would you waste your money on something like that?

 

It can be done cheaper/just as well.

 

Personally, I'm going 45º, 3" aluminum, I came across this stuff looking for silicone couplers and transitions. I can't imagine why that 45º bend is $50! I posted it for those that like that stuff--to each his own.

$10 for 45º, 12" aluminumized steel tube, $10 for rubber couplers, $12 for brass, spring-loaded checkvalve, 2 clamps for $1, 3/4 to 1/2" fitting was $3 and a free 6" length of 3/4" hose. TOTAL $36 and the car runs/idles PERFECTLY. Fixed all vacuum leaks, and can now hold idle at 750 pulling 18" Hg. Added an extra pound of boost as an added bonus.

 

it will suck a hose closed, you need some kinda of metal/plastic pipe in there

Here's the fitment of the DIY BOV and TID. I'm going to pull the stickers off the couplers and spray the pipe with aluminum enamel paint. I think I'll spray the BOV to match.
