Turbo Inlet?

What size is the turbo inlet on a S5 turbo. I need to get a transition coupler and I want to have it before the turbo comes so I just install it and have all the parts. Thanx! Its a stage 1 from BNR.

I thought we were supposed to go metric 20 years ago.
It's amazing how many people resist change.
Feet, inches, yards & fractions were dumb from the start.

Were in the world am I supposed to get a 2 3/8 coupler. Not only that, I need a transition to 3". Would a 2.5" work? Or a 2.25". One is to small the other is to big. Cause places here don't sell any 60mm couplers. Or if you know of a place were I can order one from. Thanx for the help guys.

Either _should_ work, hell I could NEARLY squeeze my 2in coupler over the TID.

nearly....

2.25in should work better than the 2.5in one though... Sometimes silicone(if thats what your using? if not disregard this ) can go all funny and deform into funny shapes when you try and compress it down too far..

No one makes such a thing short of going with a custom made unit.
Try searching for 60mm to 76mm reducer - that might get some hits.
Boy, Americans are so dumb.

damn you guys, go to--> http://hosetechniques.com

thought everyone would have known about them by now. ya, they are expensive tho. they have a 3" to 2.375" reducer.

i also ordered the t-bolt clamps. those things are awesome.

I would think a 2.25" would stretch over it pretty easily.

pic of intake, slightly different now but you get the idea. the intake i have now is much better. that pipe that comes off the silver center section is for the stock BOV. i'll see if i can get a pic of the newer intake.

See the smiley? He was being sarcastic.

But yes, it is dumb that the US doesn't use metrics.

still looking for that 2.375" coupler? What color did you want? Need t-bolts? ($2.50/ea for RX7club members).

If you still need the 2.375" and the transition I can make them for you. I am running 4 ply Aramid black right now and can add this one to the list.
