TB inlet size

Hello everyone,
I have a quick question. I am going to order some Silicone Couplers for my IC pipes, and I was wondering how big the stock S5 TB inlet size is...

Thanks

Jonathan

Uh, well..I don't see why you want to know this, since you're buying silicone couplers. You would have a TB elbow, which I'm presuming would be either 2.5" or 3"...the TB inlet is not round...

The stock TB elbow inlet on an N/A is round, and iirc it's about 3.5" across.

i know the inlet for the NA is a different size

I have a 2.25 elbow(the silver thing in the picture after the blue pipe) hooked up to it right now, and the coupler is a 2.5 straight, I want to see if i can get a step down

Uh, no, the TB on all FC's is the same. NONE ARE ROUND. All are triangular.

Now, if you mean the throttle body inlet ELBOW...that's a different story....What size do you want? Be SPECIFIC.

i am talking about this inlet, the stock inlet where the Stock IC meets the TB inlet,
I know the TB is triangular and I am not talking about the TB, (see red arrow)
