| Hi All, I am happy to bring good news about the progress of our new turbo inlet piping system. :) We have officially begun production of the pipe sets as of today and will be in manufacturing for the next week. We have spent a ton of time addressing fitment issues, building jigs, bending templates, and sourcing the manufacture of the flanges and mounting brackets. We now have kits that fit beautifully into the car and offers large gains in flow. We have two versions of this kit to cater to your specific needs, the V1 and the V2. Both kits feature replacements for both the pipes running underneath the headlamps and accordion section replacements, with the variation between the two being at the compressor inlet pipes. V1: 2.5" inlet, tapered down to a 2.25" mandrel bent section into the compressor wheel. This kit is designed to bolt directly to any turbo that has been designed for a Z32 application. V2: FULL 2.5" tubing into the compressor inlet. This kit is designed to fit to modified compressor housings with a 2.37" i.d. at the compressor inlet and provides the absolute best of flow characteristics. We provide this upgrade modification for a fee for both compressor housings. The modification involves welding of a new, larger flange to both compressor housings and then final machining on a lathe to produce a smooth transition from 2.37" at the flange face down to the compressor wheel inducer diameter. Requires BDE engine mounts for extra clearance for the larger diameter tube. We also are providing the option with or without the recirc port fittings and the PCV fittings. If you have aftermarket exhaust manifolds, such as the MSP or AMS units and plan to use the heat shields on them, it will require small modification of the heat shield to provide proper clearance, which can be accomplished with simple hand tools. So, with that said, here's the pictures of the development and the final product.
 







We will be building many sets of these pipes and plan to release them next week to the public for purchase. We will have them available on our website and SpecialtyZ will also be providing these to customers in short time as we build inventory. So, coming soon... REAL soon. :)
