I don't know what the compressor inlet on the T-bird is like... It may have a different elbow or it may just have a straight inlet. Someone who's actually handled a T-bird turbo might be able to answer.

In the stock Subaru setup, Boot B connects to the elbow which is bolted to the compressor housing. If you replaced the elbow with a silicone elbow, you'd need to at the very least stick a very short piece of pipe between it and Boot B to connect them.

The outer diameter of that elbow is somewhere between 55 and 65 mm.

Excellent. Thats what I thought, I'd just need a pipe to clamp onto between Boot B and a silicone bend, which could then find the turbo inlet. As you can tell I haven't had the car completely apart just yet :oops:

Or you can just get a Deadbolt Monster ported 16G with compressor and exhaust turbine ceramic coating like me. Hehehehehehehe... :twisted:
