Guys check out this!

Looking through the pages to find out where to get that!

[ericem]

FOUND IT!

http://www.034motorsport.com/product_in ... cts_id=667

Going to order one so I can use a td04 and not have so much restriction WOOT!

[93forestpearl]

So, do you glue it on or something? I'm not seeing how one would fasten it.

[ericem]

Look at the 034motorsport link for more pics.

[93forestpearl]

Ahhhh. I guess the posted pic is a bit deceiving.


That's a pretty sweet unit at a good price for a stock location turbo.

[SubiePrice88]

Nice! Thats not even that bad of a price. Let us know how it works out when you get it

[Mattheww044]

yes, DEFINATELY keep us updated, I might have to buy one if it works well

[93Leg-c]

And if you could take and post pics of it from different angles that would be great. Or, at least, let us know if the intake path is smooth or too abrupt or kinked. From the pic I'm trying to figure out what it looks like internally.

It should work perfectly and will have no restriction and will sit perfectly as well!

Look at how I did my setup the first time this piece should have NO issues fitting and won't have the restriction the blue 90 I had offered.

[Mattheww044]

when are you installing the new 90? im stoked to see the results, seems to fit the bill for what we want/need

[ericem]

Probably not for a month or two. I am spending a bunch of money first on some body work so no money for turbo.

[Mattheww044]

ahhh, no worries, my turbo is on the way here but i still need the gaskets and such. Is that piece meant to fit the TD04? if so I could buy it if I have money first and test it. If its not for sure gonna fit I don't really wanna buy it though

[ericem]

i dont see how there could be any issues.

[Mattheww044]

thats something i will look into getting if I have the money when the time comes. ill keep this updated if i get it, you do the same!

[NICO]

now i see what you tried to show me when you came over !! dang, how come 10years pass and now they make these parts.

that will work perfect !!! now you can pick all kinds of turbos for it.

[mavx]

the blue 90 looks like less of a restriction.

i know it probably wouldnt happen, but i feel like the turbo would suck in the front wall of the black 90.

ah! forgot to send you a link to this thread, but yes!!!!!! Right now keeping my eyes open for a very cheap td04 or a vf39.

Agreed. The black elbow looks like it has a pretty indirect flow path

[wtdash]

TD: Is there more restriction than a normal '90 Degree Silicone Elbow'?


From 034Motorsport:

No more restriction, just a tighter bend, but the ID remains the same
throughout.

Hope this helps!

[Mattheww044]

Yea, I didn't really think it would be more restrictive, but the "bend" isn't as "smooth", not quite sure if that would actually effect flow or not but I don't see why it would.

[wtdash]

Also, the the 2.5" end may be too big, if using the stock 90 turbo elbow w/a piece of pipe, etc. to connect....it's also 2.25" - same as the TD04 turbo's inlet.

90 Degree Tight Radius Rubber Elbow 2.375" - 2.5" = "2.375" to 2.5" inner diameters"

[Mattheww044]

someone needs to buy one of these

[wtdash]

Here's similar/same ELBOW for $15.

Cobra head elbows are used when clearance is extremely limited, such as when an air cleaner outlet is up against a firewall. There is no other way to make a really tight bend without losing air flow. How does the cobra head make such a tight bend without increasing turbulence? Because it flares out, creating more volume internally without increasing length. Use a cobra head anywhere a standard or short-radius elbow will not fit. Temp rated at 250-275F.

This is the special version to fit most one-barrel carburators (straight part on top of carb must be long enough to clamp elbow on securely). The 2-5/16 end is the short end. The long end is the 2.5" end. Can also be used in other applications where sizes are close - for example the 2-5/16" end will stretch to 2.5" with some effort (it will also clamp down onto 2-1/4" easily). Made in USA.

[Mattheww044]

is that the one that would work for the TD04? If so I will order one for my install, then I would just need the gaskets and such.

[wtdash]

I bought the ELBOW locally for $16.09 (website is wrong) @ Air Flow Systems after doing some Googling.

After talking w/the counter person I decided there'd be too much slack (?) in the large vertical end, so I also bought a 2.5-2.25" reducer for $14.74.

See the pics below. I'm not convinced this is better than a 90' Silicone elbow:
1. It's wider @ the base and just barely clears the vac hose on the IM.
2. It has to be pushed up on the inner step of the TD04's inlet-It won't fit between the turbo and IM if tightened down on just the 1st step.
3. The turbo's vac nipple is angled back and the vac hose (to the BCS) is a tight fit.
4. The rubber is not super-stiff, IMHO, and the flat back part near the IM is relatively soft. I'm hoping it doesn't collapse under boost....been there done that (search on "boost drops to 0" )
