Intake for single (fd)

I am nearing completion on my single project and am now buying the last few things I need to put on. One of which is an intake for the turbo. I was wondering if there is a rotary shop out there that has a intake for a single with the two vac nipples already on it? This is one of those cases where that is just a step I would rather pay for then do myself... so if you know of a shop out there with this available, please tell me.

you could just get a local fabrication shop to make you one that meets all of your needs.

yeah,
I have just been lazy about this because I am working so much on the big stuff on the car that I thought I would splurge and just buy one...

So, my question is, does it need one or two vac nipples on it? I will not be running a catch can..

I just bought some bent 4" tube and cut it to the angle I wanted and tapped one vacuum nipple on it.

What's the other nipple for? OMP? I premix and recommend the same for high boost. more fuel = more lube

Im not going to be running high boost for a while... I want to get everything working right first and work on that later. Yes, I was going to run the other nipple for the omp.

Find the pipe that you want and make it fit. Hit the depot and pick up a brass barbed fitting to fit the hose you want to connect to your pipe.





Also at the depot you'll find some rubber grommets. Size them so that the fitting barbs fit snugly inside. They usually have a plenty-pack witha small assortment. They look like this:





Drill a hole in your pipe, insert the grommet. Trim one side of the fitting to only leave 2 barbs. Insert this side into your pipe. Install hose on the other side.

You're done.
