I looked around and all I can find is the one from Corksport, or how to make one from home depot parts. I don't really want to run a TID made from plumbing parts. Sorry to anyone who is. I don't want to spend $180 on a oem one that will crack again. Are there any other cheap options for a TID or should I just go with the Corksport one?

I got mine from a friend. Home made out of 1.5ft alum pipe with 2 couplers. You can buy these parts from kragen or atleast get an idea of what you need. Very easy to make your own.

here's a pic of my engine bay on stock turbo (a few years ago). you can kind of see the TID. I believe it was 3" aluminum piping with a 45 degree coupler and a reducer coupler (factory turbo inlet is 1.75" iirc).



Now keep in mind that style deletes all the hoses that run back to the factory TID. So that is with an open vented BOV, catch can for crankcase ventilation, charcoal canister delete, etc

They are easy to make. Mine is made out of some either 3 or 4 inch exhaust pipe. You could even use some PVC tubing from Lowe's or Home Depot.

I just had to make one when i put on my BNR stage 2. I used a 3" 45 degree bend and two couplers. Works great. for stock turbo, you might have to use smaller pipe or a reducer.

They sell a bunch of cheap intakes on ebay, circa 25 bucks.

If you do use PVC, I highly recommend using a portion of aluminum tubing to be between the turbo and the plastic. The turbo gets HOT; I kept popping the PVC out of the coupler because the plastic would get too hot and deform.

I was not using a TID before with my electric fan setup,i had the room for a big air filter then,
but now with the stock fan and cover i have no room so i fabricated one.I was running a screen type cover on the turbo until a dam rock killed my big shaft 76MM turbine wheel.If ever go back to electric fan(did not like it,car ran hot)i will run a filter like yours.Oh forgot we dont need stinky TIDs but people with stock ecu do,hahahaahha,LOFL.
