I just got an intake tube ( stock 1g i belive) off of ebay. But when I put the turbo side of the accordian tube to the turbo it does not fit the intake side of the turbo. It is to big by about 1/4". When I screw the clamp down the accordian tube still slides right off the turbo with no problem. Am i missing some type of an adapter or did the guy send a 2g acordian tube?

here are pics from the ebay auction

There is supposed to be a rubber "bushing" that slides onto the turbo inlet and then the accordian tube clamps to that. Find a piece of rubber hose(radiator hose) that fits snug on the inlet. Cut a small section of that and slide it onto the turbo. Now the accordian tube fits perfect.
