Silicon intake adapter...what kind

[240kid]

I want to use my 2.5" Injen intake for my new turbo setup. I will need to get a 2.5" to 3" adapter. My question is what grade coupler do I need? I dont want to buy the cheap one (first link) and have it melt on me. I could spend a few more bucks and get the more expensive one (second link) but I dont know if i really need it or not? what do you think???????

Go to Home Depot or Lowes.. wherever. Get a reducer. They are THICK. I used one on a Nitrous setup (125 shot). Both of the items you listed look "thin" compaired to what I'm talking about. I've never heard of anyone melting something like that but then again I haven't been around this community that long.

Good Idea as you don't want it to melt, althought that 2.5" intake is gonna be a pretty big restriction on that turbo...

yea I know it will be a bit restrictive but I dont have the money to buy a new intake right now so it will have to do.
