 Intake Question
So the car I got has a PVC intake and doesn't have the bov recirculated. I was looking into getting a dejon intake. Here's my problem. I have a greddy 18g and the outer diameter of the inlet is about 3.25". Now I can either get the dejon in 3" or 3.5" piping. I have no clue what to do.

 Re: Intake Question
Well the dejon adapter is only 2.5" piping. My question was, which one would be best, 3" or 3.5" since I know I'll need some type of adapter, unless the 3.5" coupler can be compressed enough to fit over the 2.25" without an issue.

 Re: Intake Question
i dont see the benefit of going larger than 3" in your case...

 Re: Intake Question
If your turbo inlet is 3.25 then you should get the 3.5" intake and get a 3.5 to 3.25 reducer coupler to put it on.

 Re: Intake Question
I've never had a Dejon intake so I don't know about the nipples.
As for your turbo being 3.125" OD, in my experiences a 3.25" coupler will compress enough and it will be fine since you are on the no-pressurized side of the compressor.
