Is this for a race car?
It's not recommended for a daily driver.

I'm not sure what you're getting at but I was just asking where I could buy a part. Am I missing something here?

My original post. The first post on this thread.

"What do you call that funnel/trumpet thing on the inlet of the turbo. Where/who sells it? Thanks."

Is there a code for asking questions on this forum? I never asked for a turbo. If I'm missing something, please explain.

"spun aluminum trumpet" is what i searched under to find it.

Oh...and for carbs they're called air horns. you can search with that as well...spun aluminum is the key

Just reread the sequence of posts, no secret code. You asked what he was getting at and that was my answer.

Your missing the fact that he was responding to teamafx comment on " 5"inlet? "
then he cleared up the fact you thought he was referring to two turbos not velocity stacks on the inlet. Simple really, no code.

Thank you. At least I know I'm making sense.
