intake

[Needsoles]

so i was wondering where can get the rubber cuppling that goes on the intake side of the turbo and the intake tube slides on it

Any supporting vendor should have it . Coupler . You just need to know size of turbo inlet and intake pipe size . Outside diameter of both .

Slowboy Racing carries the couplers you need. Just measure the outside diameter of the pieces that the coupler will be going on and you will know what size to get.

Go to Home Depot and look in the plumbing section, if you want to sound smart then ask the plumbing people for a fern coat and give them the dimensions if you're running a t-25 yet then you can use 2.5" for the turbo side and you just have to push it farther onto the turbo than the stock intake pipe went and it will seal up just fine most likely your other side will be 3" costs about $4 and comes with the hose clamps and you can have it today.

If you really want to sound smart, ask for a "fern-co".

You may be right there, I'll agree to keep my mouth shut about plumbing from now on.

I'm actually using one of those lowes couplers now. They can stretch, so if you need 2.25", just get the 2" one. I have the 2" one stretched over a 2.5" pipe. Seals beautifully. I'm only using this as a temporary fix though because I'm not sure how long or how much pressure those can take.

There isn't really any pressure on them unless you mean just the pressure of being squeezed onto a pipe thats a little too big. Well, actually there is a little bit of vacuum down there as the turbo sucks in air but really its almost nothing and most rubber coupler have between 1/4in and a 1/2in of stretch or collapse in them, usually the label will tell you if you get it from a plumbing department somewhere.
