Turbo Up Pipe

[Mean Green]

I finally got all of the pieces and finished my turbo up pipe to the air box. I used a high temp 90* elbows with a 2 1/2" opening on one end and a 3" opening on the other I got from AT Turbo. I used the pipe with the two inlets from Jim's AMX1397 intake and some high temp 3" flex hose I got from an auto parts store. I also plugged off the vent inlet on the air box and used the second inlet on his pipe for the inline filter off of the crankcase.

Looks good. How does it run? How come you did not just run the make up air hose to the stock location and how did you connect the large hose that came off the O.E. intake tube? What do you have teed off of the vacuum line to the purge valve, just curious?
Thanks

Thanks. It runs well. Because of the melting snow and rain I have not been able to open it up real well without my GT feeling goosey on the slick roads. Not sure if I understand what you're asking, but the turbo inlet is only 2 1/2" and everything else is 3". The elbow, pipe and flex hose are all connected with hose clamps. The tee goes to my HKS bov, but I have since changed the tee location to the 3/8" hose that goes to the turbo up pipe. I'm looking for more vaccuum to make my HKS sound off more. Since I took the CAI off my bov doesn't make nearly the noise it did with the CAI. I've adjusted the HKS, but though I can adjust it to open sooner I can't get it to go louder.
