I like the way that looks, someone should figure out the measurements and bends to create a tube that goes from filter to turbo to eliminate the stock ribbed plastic. Kinda like the H2E from the afe box. Pete may be it could be an addition to your cover biz

You would still need some kind of adapter for the stock turbo housing -- it's only 3". The section of plastic tubing between the turbo & CCV coupler is tapered from 3 to 4".

Some sort of boot that goes from 4"-3", you may need it anyway to connect the metal tube to the turbo inlet.

I'd have to invest some big bucks into the madrels for this intake tube, but it WOULD be a lot of fun making stuff like that.

As far as the transition goes, Joe, perhaps one of the step-down reducing rubber plumbing boots from Home Depot might work. If not, i believe that I've seen some silicone boots that are stepped down in those dimensions, too.

Izzy.....your intercooler pipe is a LOT cleaner then mine! haha......but I just wanted the madness to end! That stuff was a royal PITA to take off....even using solvents, wd-40 and grinding it with drill....I was tired of messing with it and slapped it back on

He makes a complete intake with the same air filter with brackets to hold the filter its a little expensive but nice looking let me see if I can find a link.

I think the Tymar kit is THE SAME as you are making it just moves the bat forward and actually holds the filter. It does the same thing w a pipe inbetween the two slinky hoses IIRC.

Your right after I started looking it up I remembered that the pipe only went the to ccv not to the turbo. That's why I went with the good ole 6637 mod and save about $130.00.

Last summer I opted to install the K&N cold-air intake for my 2000 7.3 PSD and I like the mileage gain and performance...however, I have been hearing a lot of things latley about dusting the turbo & engine. Will the 6637 fit on the K&N intake ? Hopefully its not too late, I installed a K&N box filter when I bought the truck 75,000 miles ago until I got the K&N cold air intake. I'm in N. Illinois, so we don't have much dust around these parts

Thanks !

You can tell by pulling the entire ***'y off from the turbo to the filter and looking for dust/dirt in there. Look at the compressor wheel in the turbo to see if it's worn. A friend of mine was looking at a PSD and it had a K&N CAI with cone-style filter on it. Here's what it looked like (notice the finger swipe through the dust inside the tube):

So here's what mine looks like now with the 4" OD exhaust piece in place. Actually, it looks a little different these days -- I have since put in a van turbo with ATS housing... LOL...
