I then cut off the "scoop" on the inside of the intake to make a nice smooth flow of air on its approach to the turbo. Just an option if you dont want to look for a 4 inch section of pipe.
Thanx Suber

It looks as though it restricts flow since the intake sleeve is not round. Just trying to help and not mislead.

So far: 16' of 3/4" hose, not sure of the cost and it will be $37.80 for the correct boot plus 3" of 4" exhaust pipe when I find it. I will take pics and post them in my webshots for you. and only for you since you are "SPECIAL".
Great to hear from you again 162, missed ya' lately. Where are you postin' and maybe I will join ya'.

So, I know how to do this mod. now but I can't remember what the benefits are, besides cooler intake temps. Will this give me more power as the intake are becomes cooler? Also, is there anything out there to put on the end of the ccv by the firewall like a breather assembly for a gas motor? Or, should I run the rubber down the frame rail, becasue I don't want to cut into the exhaust pipe?
