Turbo II inlet duct mod questions...
Hey guys, its been awhile since I have chatted here. But I think I might have found a new Turbo II project. Anyway, My questions are: Who is using a Turbo duct inlet mod? What was your impressions? How easy to install? Does anyone here sell them? How much? How much extra boost/hp might be expected?
Thanks much!
Thanks much!

This one guy sells an all aluminum one for $150. Its a little steap but quality looks excellent and its a bolt on application:

I want to do the mod myself with some PVC but will that hold up well enough? I think it cost me like $10 or $15 to do myself but it I will have to do it again in a few months I might just go with the $150 one. I know I know a muffler shop can make me one right? lol

I was using PVC, but I read that PVC releases chlorine gas when heated up. So I took it out and just stuck the AFM right on the turbo until I can get a metal 3'' 45* bend.

I wondered about using PVC so close to the hot turbo...I will read those recent threads on this subject, but I thought there was a guy, not long ago, selling the TID mod for $40-50ish? It does sound like a good way to increase boost while taking off the prone to cracking & loosing boost old rubber part...Can anyone else state how well it worked for them?

Here is a couple links to PICS of my setup... cost about ~$40 for just the TID portion, but it looks damn good

I also made my own...costed me about $25 at Home Depot to build....I couldn't be happier, the difference in performance was huge! Of course, my original TID was cracked most of the way up the bottom!

I think I must be cheap....because for $150, I'd build my cheap one for $25, and spend the $130 leftover on something else...then again, I don't drive a showcar or anything near it!

Plus anything shiny under my hood would look out of place
