Message	I'll keep it short. I have 2 GT2554Rs installed, which is the same size as the JWT 530BB kit. I DO NOT have compressor inlet flanges. I have the exhaust manifold heat shield installed. I'm trying to think of a way to get the inlet hose setup via silicone hoses/couplers to meet up with the accordian pipes (this is a TT swap). It seems like a could possibly get away with a combination of 45/90 degree bends in silicone hoses with hard couplers, but getting it at the right angle seems hard to guarantee. So, I started wondering if something like bendable marine exhaust hose wouldn't also serve my purpose here. [ http://www.jamestowndistributors.com/userportal/show_product.do?pid=11693 ] I'm completely open to suggestions on the best way to do this. Of course, going forward, I'll always be purchasing a pre-packaged z32 turbo kit!

The only problem is that - evan_aggie 07:52:58 02/01/11 The flange they use has a taper in the center. (n/m) - KongZTT GT28RS MD 09:27:14 02/01/11 You also could cut the flanges off the stock inlet piping - KongZTT GT28RS MD 09:35:20 02/01/11 How about a muffler shop? I don't anyone in particular.

Well, anyway, it was just a thought. You are - evan_aggie 09:47:47 02/01/11 I am pretty sure the 2.5" will clamp down to a smaller size - KongZTT GT28RS MD 10:12:30 02/01/11 53mm inner diameter is identical for 2560 and 2554. - evan_aggie 11:30:19 02/01/11 I did like Kong suggested. Use the ATP flanges! - greyzx (now blue) 17:02:57 02/03/11
