Default Help 5" Turbo hose

Any ideas where I can get a 90 deg reducer 5" (GT42) down to 4" ( K&N). The normal places dont do one.
Thanks Rod

Have you tried Roose Rod ?

If he doesn't do one, he'll prob be able to knock ya one up no probs ! Either that or sleeve it @ the ally trumpet end ??

If that is the case, then I think the only way you will do this is to use some high temp flexible ducting which is available in 127mm diameter. However, it will mean a new trumpet being machined up to match.

Rod when Nick comes up at the weekend to Marks look at his alloy turbo tube on the Capri...

Our good friend Clive made that one so im sure he could do the same for yours and it will be made to suit your application perfectly.

Why don't you cut the 4" pipe out of the trumpet and get a 5" one welded in place? No reducer then!!

It took 4 weeks to come I know that much Rod and that was rush job(quality is only 99%)

Might be able to sort you a loan for a few days if its holding you back from the event?

In fact, scratch that Rod...

its been cut down now to fit the air filter set up on the scoob( panel sits in the scoop) so its more like a 45 deg bend now.
