Intake Pipe (from Pod->turbo)

[Sloupos]

Hey

Recently had my turbo highflowed via hypergear n the responce is awsome,

he did advise to change the standard intake pipe which is rubber to metal (and larger diameter)

has anyone done this? and could they point me in the right direction about where to buy one?

any help would be great,

Cheers

Exhaust shop can make you up one, from memory people have said it costs around $120 depending on what you want

I have a metal intake pipe but i bought mine second hand as a kit

[negativecamber]

could just go to supercheap and buy a length with a 45 degree bend in it and some silicone hoses too.

[negativecamber]

here is a 90 degree type from supercheap for example.

be careful if you have a nice shiny straight peiece of metal as the intake ducting

the standard intake pipe has accordian style bends in it to avoid afm signal reversion

if you put in a nice perfect straight piece of metal it will cause reversion of the AFm signal and make the car run like ass

is that just on stock ecu paul?

nope, it's with any hot wire AFM

try and include the biggest bend you can or keep accordian style induction or pod to break up the airflow

[Sloupos]

good advice, i was planning on moving the AFM to the cold side of the cooler piping, just b4 the blowoff valve

so pretty much, pod-> pipe-> turbo

guess size dnt matter cos i'll have to use some silicon hose to narrow it down into the turbo?

cheers all

just keep the standard intake pipe with the afm in the standard position. if it sucks closed then put a small piece of exhaust pipe in the middle of it, theres a guide on here.

you do not need a bigger intake pipe with a highflow

[Sloupos]

apparently theres some issue with the AFM readings on high boost application

nah wouldnt wanna put a pipe in there.. bit dodgy

cheers for the info everyone

[JonnoHR31]

nothing at all dodgy about it. you cut the stocker pipe, put an offcut of exhaust pipe in there and hose clamp both parts of the intake pipe to it.

intake pipe wont change what airflow the afm maxxes out at, once again stocker would actually be better than a metal pipe as it has the ribs in it to stop any reversion

[Sloupos]

is this what you have done?

do you have any pics by any chance?

cheers

I had straight metal hard piping on mine. Never had any issues you guys keep going on about. First I've ever heard anyone mention it as well.

[JonnoHR31]

yer i have a metal intake pipe and also dont have any issues but i made sure it was nice and long with a decent bend in it. but the only reason i made one was to suit the 4" intake on my turbo. if you have a small turbo inlet theres no reason to use a metal pipe

Get a metal intake pipe and relocate AFM and BOV. If you are concert about cop problems dyno tune your car with 3inch metal pipe and pod before putting the REV210 metal sleeved stock intake pipe back on. Stao explained side affects of it into detail with dynosheet comparasm and users comment in his tread as well as installation notes on AFM and BOV relocation. Have a read in this thread. from memory its in page 39 & 43.
