Pure's new one piece inlet pipe looks promising, I'm in.

I replaced it at the time (along with all the other FTP pipes) when I did the Dinan Turbo, so no way to tell. I replaced all the pipes more for reliability, vs performance.
Altho, I’ve heard a larger pipe helps with exhaust gas temps, which seems like an issue for our motor. |

Just got the pure inlet. Same measurements as their other tube at the turbo.
Feels like a very professional product, high quality and the transition from tick to thin pipe is really well done to not get any edges. Last edited by Rondavouz; 02-01-2019 at 08:25 AM.. |

I have the insert style pipe. Prior to installation I was already planning on smoothing the transition at the end of the aluminum pipe by beveling the inside of the end of the pipe. I never liked that step right there.

So from my N54 days the relocation inlets opened up a lot of power, torque, and decreased turbo lag. Now this is nothing like that but it sure will help the turbo work more efficiently! Nobody likes breathing through a plastic straw or drinking through one apparently

Gents,
This piece is ridiculously easy to make yourself if you enjoy working on your sled. Total investment, $2.00 |

I used 2 of the rubber isolators (I had an extra intake tube to rob for the extra isolator) one in the compressor inlet to secure aluminum pipe and one on the other end of the aluminum pipe and epoxied it into cut back factory plastic inlet tube, make sense? It replicates factory tube and will still pull out of compressor inlet...I didn't epoxy that side |

Did you get a chance to measure/compare IDs of FTP inlet pipe to stock Inlet pipe where it mates to the turbo ?

I assume yr picture above is just to show FTP pipe ID is larger than comp wheel & w/o plastic sleeve fitted, hence why inlet pipe bore is eccentric to comp wheel housing ?

That's what I was hoping you'd say.
