I've been thinking about either putting a Duttweiler big neck on my stock intercooler or possibly upgrading to a stock location stretch.
Has anyone tried just using a 90 degree transitional hose instead of the welded big neck. There a places that sell silicone hoses specifically for turbo applications. I've seen some 90 degree hose elbows that reducers......say from 2" to 2.5"....or 2.5" to 3"...etc.
Couldn't a person just cut off the stock inlet neck like you would for installing a Dutt neck, but instead fit a hose elbow there and get the same effect? The neck part goes from round to "squarish", but with some hose clamps it could fit tightly....maybe some porting on the new inlet to smooth the transition between hose and intercooler.
Surely someone has thought of this before.....
