Intercooler Pipes On A Saturday?

[TOMsGPTurbo]

Hey guys,

 

Would anyone know where to get a intercooler pipe on a Saturday?

I'm after a 2" (51mm) 90 degree elbow bend with approx 200mm from bend to end on both sides.

I would prefer mandral bend, stainless steal or aluminium.

 

Cheers,

Tom.

Could try Autobahn...or maybe even supercheap, they have that sort of thing for mounting fully hetik pod filters on your commodore.

Otherwise use some poly pipe from bunnings until Monday lol

It's not for a commodore.... geeezzz... it's for a Xtrail lol :P

It says you're in Brisbane, Autobarn Slacks Creek has biggest instock range of any store I've seen.

I have a 2.5" length but it's not quite 90 degrees.

Thanks guys, unfortunately I couldn't get away from home on Saturday anyhow.... I've patched the problem and hope to get away to a shop during the week.

How strange is this, I used a spare aluminum elbow I had lying around and some silicon connectors (right setup but made to work using incorrect sizes), and I'm getting a better turbo spool lower in the rev range and a more linear power curve rather than the previous noticeable kick-in rush from the turbo, but worse fuel economy .... hmm I think I still might have a boost leak or the ecu has dropped the psi as I can't hear my usual wastegate chatter

Ecus don't like boost leaks at all.

 

Got an air compressor? If so block off both ends of your intercooler piping (turbo and throttle body) and make something to be able to pressurise the piping and see of you got a leak. If you suspect a small leak at joints you can use some soapy water on the joints and loom for bubbles.
