PITA XSPOWER I/C Coupler

The coupler that connects the xspower smic piping to the turbo y-pipe is very short as all of you users know.

Its getting on my nerves as It keeps popping off/causing boost issues when I run higher boost.

Would a 45 degree bend coupler work?

Yes get a silicone elbow, I used a 90 degree bend and it will work fine.

I bought one from a local hose distributer and bought one that was longer than what is needed so i could cut it to the length needed.

The pipe xspower includes with their intercooler is a piece of crap, you much better off making your own.

the pipe that comes with the XS power IC has a 90 degree bend in it so you have two options. Go to a local race shop and get a longer coupler instead of the crappy one that comes with the kit, OR you can get a 90 degree coupler and cut off the bend in the pipe. Thats probably the best solution, but not the easiest.
