seems a bit small...... that means itll be only 50mm diameter..... mmmm you possibly could be correct actually, coz alot of aftermarket boost pipes are about 60mm..... :smiley:

yeh i got 58mm too! but ive got a problem now....... if i make the pipe out of stainless, ive got 2 weld the 2 flanges on it for the DV and intake..... uh oh! so possibly may need 2 rethink strategy!!!!  :undecided:
