Default any chance someone has some oem inlets laying around? need a measurement, thanks

i am looking for the measurement on the oem inlets on the turbo end, if you were to cut off the part where it slips over the turbo, the size right behind that where it tapers down.

thanks, i need to order some silicon couplers to run k04s

happy halloween guys

Default Here, I measured the section immediately in front of where the vacuum reference line exits, since...

...this is the farthest back you could cut them w/o running into the vacuum reference line. The circumference 'C' measures 6.3 inches, so C = 2*pi*r or C = pi*d so the outside diameter 'd' is about 2.0 inches.

Notice however that there is only one inside reduction, right at the reference line, and the K03 turbo goes all the way into this point in the inlet tube. This means you may not be able to cut off enough material to get the inlet tube to fall back into its original position on the motor - depends on where things fall in relation to the K04 turbo housing.

Might be best to spend the cash on K04 inlets.
