Default Fitting group A cone to Escort RS Turbo

Hi guys,

Silly one I know, but better to ask the peeps that have already done this

I'm going to be fitting a group A cone filter to my RS, it's EFI and running a stage 3 T3, in case you need to know this. I've bought the cone from Burton with the relevant T3 trumpet.

The question for you guys is, what silicone hose do I want to attach it directly to what I presume is the turbo as I've seen in many of your pics? I'm after the exact measurements of the hose I'll need, what angle (if any) that need to be in the hose.
I know I could measure it and make an educated estimate, but I'm tired of ordering things and then having to send them back because they are a touch out, lol, so as I say, better to ask the guys in the know

Cheers guys

Just cut the hose that's already on the turbo mate. It's 63mm if you do want to buy a new one though
