Ok so confirmed my own suspisions.
Looks like the stock inlet may not fit. Its not ruled out yet but the size hike is pretty unreal. Need an inlet off a hdi to measure up.
Gt15 inlet: 33.5mm
Gt2052s inlet: 60mm

Been warned that even if the stock inlet can be fitted it may pose as a restriction. Atm im aware of this but just looking for the easiest root to build it then i can work back on myself to improve areas of the build.


Seen a few xantia's and 406's with a different style inlet so may also look into this.



At first glance it looks to have a better flow but the downsides look to be that it looks like its made from plastic which makes it a pain to edit and again the turbo end as i believe the xantia and 406 run the same turbo.

As for the bottom pipe it seems the 406 pipe deffinatley has to be done away with. As it stands with the gt15 the 406 pipe already scrubs on my subframe, its also had the end knuckle removed to butt it up to the turbo and it still causes issues.
After size comparing the turbo's decided the only wise thing to do was move on to a c5 pipe.

Gt15 outlet: 42mm
Gt2052s outlet: 50mm

As most people are aware a 90° long legged silicone has to be used on the turbo end of the c5 pipe to make this fit. In this case i shall be using a long legged 90° reducer silicone. This will also give me the flexiability on the partial relocation position of the gt2052s compared to the gt15.

Anyway keep watching this space [GRINNING FACE WITH SMILING EYES]
