Dave the V2 uses something like this...



Which I may be able to get knocked up on the lathe at work. If we work out some sizes and draw it out I can have a word if you want

Looks good that mate, would save having to get the reducer in silicone.

How would you attach it to compressor inlet?

That's not mine but it's doable at work, just depends how busy the guys are. I'll get some dimensions if I can find a K03s and see what they can do

Doesn't the v2 just use a tight fit and a grub screw?

Look forward to seeing what you come up with dude, flow should be good and will have the benefit of kit being able to collapse under vacuume  :smiley:

Didn't know about the grub screw but makes sense

Grub screw sounds fairly good idea, want me to stick a vernier over 3s inlet on Thursday mate and get you a definitive measurement?
