I believe it's 2-1/4". North Cali is pretty far from CT, though. :? I'm thinking I might just order from www.boostcontroller.com out of NY who has "same day shipping" and hope it gets here by the weekend.

2 5/8" inner diameter
and its 2 1/4" length
i have one sitting on my dining table now, course its attached to my 06 TMIC which is getting installed probably thursday.
my intercooler came with the above connection tubing, as well as hose clamps. looking forward to hopefully warm weather to install.
I already have the napa heater hose 8338 for the turbo to tmic piping. Last week i re-routed the AC hose under the dog-bone, moved the igniter bracket over toward the clutch master cylinder.
Still need a 90 degree elbow for routing my bypass/bov with the stock turbo valve, and the return connector..

2-5/8"...ok, atleast SOMEONE is listing dimensions similar to mine. I'm a bit less paranoid now. :lol:

Sounds like you are where I'm at with my 02 TMIC. I have the TMIC all set sitting IN the car, I just need that coupler to actually hook it up to the TB, and the misc stuff for the bypass valve return.

By the way, that Napa radiator hose 8338 is the craziest looking hose I've ever seen. It's got to have every damn bend in it you can imagine. When you cut it it ends up being PERFECT though - no kinks to be found what-so-ever. Big thanks to the guy who figured that one out.

Update:

Just ended up buying it from boostcontroller.com for about $15 shipped. They're right out of NY. It's getting shipped out tomorrow (Thursday), and they said it'll be here Saturday. I ordered a hose with a 2-5/8" ID - I'll be able to confirm if that's the right size or not on Saturday.

Thanks guys!

It was a little tight, but I managed to stretch the coupler over the throttle body and TMIC outlet. Ran it like this all weekend without any issues, so....it works! :D I would definitely go with 2-5/8 over 2-3/4.

Which coupler was it on that site? They have their measurements in tenths and what length was it?

They seem to have a lot of great products, I'll try using them when I do my TMIC here in a week or two!

thanks for the link

No problem! Again, I highly recommend them. Shipping was cheap and fast, and the coupler was top-notch quality.
