Dejon 3" Intake + 16G = No Fit... Options!!

[RuBiCaNT5X]

I'm putting my 16G in, in a few weeks, however, tonight I took off my 3" Dejon tool intake and attempted to put it on the 16G and it doesn't fit at all. The wastegate bulb (which pushes the actuator to open the wastegate) is in the way hardcore. I have thought of these options...


1. Buy a 2.5" intake from Dejon or wherever and push my timetable back a week or more.

2. Cut the outer rubber coupler on one side where the intake gets in the way of the wastegate bulb and risk an intake leak.

3. Shop around for a 30 degree 2.5" bend and hack up the stock intake (ghettofy it).

If any of you can think of other options, let me know.

Why on earth do you have a 3 inch intake pipe? Are you downgrading from a larger turbo? Buy a 2.5 pipe for the 16g, sell the 3inch, you dont need it.

Yyeah what monster did you have on there to be running a 3" intake pipe?

yea. dejon tool itself states in their faq that the 3" will not work with 16G cause of how the turbo is.. positioned or something like that.. i was thinking of getting a 3" for my big 16g as wel from dejon tool.. but after reading ur post.. i know better now.. the 2.5 should work though right?..
i wanted the 3" for future uses if i decide to get an fp green or something

Yeah, the 2.5 will work. If you choose to upgrade then just sell the 2.5

I bought a 3" because I didn't know what turbo I was gonna upgrade my T25 to and didn't want to short change myself. OOPS! Well, I bought the 2.75 OD pipe to replace it with. It's the CIP-2gA part. So I am back on schedule. I am selling my 3" intake so take a peek on the classifieds.

Check out my post in the Tech articles under "intake and exhaust", it shows you how to make a 2.5" turbo inlet pipe, the one that replaces teh accordian in your stock intake pipe.

give me an e-mail [email protected] , I have a Dejon Intake CIP-2gA . I am upgrading to a turbo with a 3" inlet, so I will no longer be able to use it. E-mail me, maybe we can work something out.
