91727, Turbo elbow
Posted by xceler8, Dec-01-05 09:40 AM
I blew my stock turbo elbow from my star kit, I'm looking to get a better upgraded silicone one. What is the diameter of the i/c piping on the star kit as well as the typical diameter on the outlet for most garret turbos. My turbo size is posted in my sig.
I could be wrong, but I believe it's 2" off the turbo, and either 2, or 2.25 off the i/c piping.

Can someone confirm this, I'm out of town and away from my car for another two weeks and wanted to get a new elbow ordered.

Reco's on where to order, I have a few in mind


Thanks a lot-

Don't you have a tape measure?

I suppose if you read what I posted again, you would see that I'm out of town for another two weeks and I wanted the part waiting at my doorstep when I get home. But thanks for pointing out the obvious.

Do you have one that you could measure yours for me?
Thanks-

i believe mine is a 2" 90 degree but its for the 16g from hahn. depending on how much boost you are running id say give them a call and order one from them i think they were like 20 bucks? but only rated to like 15psi i think call brad at hahn he will hook you up good luck

Thanks Joe,

I have the star kit, I'm running more than 15 lbs when I get more fuel plugged back in with a 1:1. I'm gonna order a silicone, I just couldn't remember the size, your probably right,I think it was 2" but I couldn't remember if the I/C piping for star is 2 or 2.25.

Anyone know the size of the i/c pipe for the star stage two kit?

Thanks-

I am pretty sure the star stage 2 is a 2" pipe. I remember measuring mine and I remember thinking it was too small...lol
