Message	For the inlet piping.. It will see no boost, only vacuum. If you feel that you want to construct some inlet piping yourself. I suggest you go to [ http://www.mandrel-bends.com ] they are the cheapest I have ever found for mandrel bent piping. But your required mandrel bends from there, cut/weld etc. Why not just mill the compressor down and make a flange like the 530bb? I went through all this a couple years ago with my GT28R turbos.. There are several ways to do this. I ended up making adapter flanges from 1/4" plate steel, powdercoating, using gasket maker/stock gaskets, bolting to turbo compressor housing, then bolting stock inlet to the adapter. _________________________________________________________________________ ~~~ Sig starts below ~~~ ================================================================= NO, This picture is not photoshopped.
