3.5" Turbo Inlet for Stock Turbo

[Coelacanth]

I keep hearing these exist but have yet to locate one. I'm looking for one that bolts up to the stock turbo, so I can connect my existing 3.5" intake to the stock turbo without needing a 3.5"-to-3" reducer. Anyone have one?

That's just the MAF pipe, I already have a 3.5" MAF pipe. The stock turbo has a 3" inlet, so I currently use a 3.5"-to-3" silicone reducer to connect the pipe to turbo inlet. I'm looking for a 3.5" turbo inlet that replaces the stock 3" turbo inlet, so I don't need to reduce down from my 3.5" MAF pipe.

Good Luck! I’ve only seen 4” and 3”

Exactly. They used to be around. I posted a topic about this a few years ago and Bison replied that they exist, but they must be pretty rare.

They were the inlet bells that came on the old TA66 turbos made by limit engineering. If you have a stock turbo, you will have a bunch of porting to do on the inlet of the compressor housing.

The larger inlet bells are difficult enough to tighten because you can only get your wrench on part of the bolt since it is so close to the metal you can't even put a socket on it.

If you are interested, Reed from WORK turbo will port your stock inlet bell for about $25. You have to supply the inlet bell.
