TPI Reducer??

Just a really quick question for you boosted guys. I'm having heaps of trouble finding a 4" reducer to attach everything to my intake here in Aus. Any suggestions where I could order one from over there in yank-land?

I'm really looking for 4" - 2.75" but now ill take anything.

Cheers

I think we all run into the same problem. This probably won't help you, but I have attatched a pic of my TB inlet plumbing. It was home brew from exhaust plumbing (judging from the fab work in your other threads, it shouldn't give you a problem ).

FWIW, I did run the factory TPI inlet bellows for a year on my TT IROC. I decided to change it when I had it on the chassis dyno at the Wildwood, NJ cruise and I got to see it under boost- it blew up two or three times it's normal size (everyone watching the pull figured I must have been running very high boost to blow it up like that, but I was only pushing 6psi)!

You may also want to look into the Vortech Supercharger inlet elbows as sold by Summit Racing. For the silicone hose, check out HighTempSilicone or HoseTechniques (both companies have great service).

Good luck.
