Guys, I just got my Greddy IC and went to install it last night, but having some problems. I need a coupler like the one below, jsut not as long. A 45 degree angled coupler for the install. I was wondering if anyone knows where in the city/sorounding area sells these products? Does any type of turbo company in NOLA sell these things? Please help!! haha

thanks,

have u forgot about the place off of George St. by your paps! Check them out!

 

Would this be a pipe to work in place of the intercooler outlet pipe? I've got a piece that will work from the stock IC outlet to the stock plastic throttlebody elbow. Also, I've got some spare aluminum piping that might work, one piece is the IC inlet pipe that came with my CW intercooler and has a bend that might be close to a 45. About how much distance do you need on each side of the 45 degree bend? I'll be home Friday evening and can look through my box of goodies.

^ Jack, thanks so much for the offer, but I went home last night and broke out the band saw. I took the greddy pipe (one in between elbow and IC) and trimmed it from each end. I took a little off each end because I didn't want to change the angle. It works perfect. I srcatched the **** out of the pipe though. The band saw bit and threw the pipe across the garage. Luckly I am fine, but I am really pissed off at myself. O well, you learn from your mistakes right? Good thing it was not a BIG mistake. haha

Marshall, I tried that place. They have couplers, but no angled pieces. Their **** is seriously industroal, but extremely thin. Really cool stuff!!!!! The mostly sell parts for heavy machinery, but obviously turbo diesels need couplers too!!!

Anywho, thanks for all the help guys.

Were you able to put a bead on each end of the pipe? If not, the couplings are liable to blow off the pipe under boost.

Dang Jack..he is excited and you bust the bubble! Jack is right though. A fab shop may be able to do it(bead it). I have had someone here do my custom peices.
