i have plans on just welding the 90 elbow on the td04 from the vf11 will this work.

are do i have to go out and buy a 90 silicone elbow?
Thanks

Silicone will work, the vf11 elbow is a flanged piece, if you cut the flange off an have it welded onto the tdo4 it could work, not sure in the diameter of both turbos. I would just do the silicone with a piece of pipe, and call ot good.

thanks i might take a look at the diameter of it today i might weld it on once i take a better look. if not i will have to locate a silicone hose. where could i order one other then ebay like a local shop are store.

I need to get a credit card so i can buy stuff off ebay are even a prepaid card dont know how it all work cant use debit i dont think.

Go get a PayPal account, you can use it to pay through your bank account, eBay, www.siliconeintakes.com and www.turbohoses.com

Just a word of caution regarding using silicone hoses on the inlet side of the turbo. Others have experienced the 90 degree elbows collapsing under hard acceleration or quick throttle responses. So whatever you get, make sure it's reinforced to help prevent that.

+1 ^^ josh that's a good idea, putting a piece of pipe into the 90 degree inlet to put the black elbow,
Will also help reinforce it aswell.

i almost set it all up lol but have to get bank shit every thing not on the card lol.


lol i never even worked on the car lol not in 2 weeks i get there to work and then im like nah i will do it later not motivated enough to many problems that i made with the car lol hopfully this week are on weekend but i think im done work next week so i will have plenty of time.

i just purchased a VF28 that the previous owner had had Surgeline weld a 90* inlet on it. any custom shop that deals with forced induction and fabrication can likely do it for you, and likely has done it. pretty common for people to do it to the compressor outlet as well for rotated setups and what not

lucky me i found an 90 elbow in a buch of parts and i think its reinforced like 3-4 ply lol

Very true story about silicone caving under loads.

I had just swapped my VF11 for a fatty GT28RS and ran a silicone inlet elbow to the turbo. It did work! Tho it did have a kink in it... That kink under load in top gear on the highway would invert and give the car NO air!

It was like driving a car with a clogged exhaust!

I quickly went down to the local speed shop and got a one off custom inlet welded to my turbo!

Since then i have had no problems at all. Best idea i have ever had as far as turbo go.

Best bet is to get some metal tube made. Or get some sort of a manifold riser.
