hey everyone, i was getting everthing ready to put my motor in soon and i looked at my intake pipe (between maf and turbo and i noticed ainch to inch 1/2 slit going up from the turbo side is it fucked? can i fix it? please help

 

Its an AFM.

Get a new one or have a TID made.

 

what is TID?

 

The pipe you're speaking of.

Turbo inlet duct.

 

oh yeah i just read that to in the FAQ, how can i make one?

 

Get someone who can weld SS piping and have it mocked up....

 

yup that's what i did...

had a pipe the same size as the turbo mouth bent into sort of an S shape (used a thick copper wire to mock the shape up)

then had the end flared to the size of the AFM mouth...

i have no BOV re-circulation, or other crap.. so it's just a straight pipe..

 

so where is you bov then? do you have any pics?

 

im using some 2"-3" pipe rubber coupler , and some abs platic 3" pipe, then some other coupler, works great, big improvement

 

thanks for all the help but can i see some pics please

 

does making a TID really make that big of a differance in performance? i guess the stock hose doesn't seem that restrictive to me, or is the airbox restrictive?

 

i think its both, does anyone know of a good place to get the peice of pipe for the TID

 

Trike: RETed's site explains why. But helps raise boost.

FC3s_nataku: Contact RETed. he might be able to help you out.

 

It doesn't help raise boost directly. It helps flow so the turbo can suck in more air easier and faster which can result in higher boost.

If you have the money and connections go find some 3inch piping and then get a few rubber couplers.

If you don't have $$ then go to Home Depot Racing.
a foot or so of PCV(ABS I think actually) then a 45 bend and some rubber couplers for piping.

I think the turbo OD is 2inches. The AFM OD is 3 I think.

 

The turbo inlet is 60mm (2-3/8").

Here's my TID. IMHO it's one of the better ones around here...
