Turbo inlet pipe

[Ryan40601]

Hello all , my turbo inlet pipe seems to be deformed at the end where it's clamped to the turbo, I was told these are not available from any repro place!
Where do I get one of the nice polished stainless ones I see on some TTAs?
Thanks for reading!:feedback:

If you want to go with the original type, here is one place to get one!

I have a chrome one on my TTA and it was on there when I got the car, so I don't know where it came from. Grumpy used to make the aluminum intake hose like Jan has on his TTA.

Thank u

I checked that one out , that's not the one it's the hard plastic piece that connects directly to the turbo housing

That plastic part is hard to find, I think I would do the aftermaket maf pipe. Maybe someone will have info on one!:wall:

If the plastic pipe just collapsed the trick is to cut a 1/2" of 3" pipe and push into the end that way the pipe wont collapse when the clamp is tightened.

That pipe was redesigned half way through production due to that issue.

gbodyparts.com apparently have made a reproduction in aluminium or steel but I have not seen it so might be worth contacting them and ask; just make sure it's the correct TTA version and not the GN version.
