    New turbo, no fit???

    08-10-2012 12:16 AM #1
    Just got rid of my ko3 and put in a gt2x, my old Inlet pipe a silicone samco I believe would not fit no matter what I did. I ended up having to put a stock one back on and I'm pissed!!! What brand fits onto this turbo??? I was shocked when I couldn't get it on.

    You could try spraying the inlet hose with brake cleaner than istall it. The cleaner works as good lube on silicone and evaporates quickly. It's worth a shot, otherwise I believe frankenturbo kits come with a larger intake hose. Maye see if they will sell you just a hose.

    Sounds like hes using one of those ATP kits. I think the inlet pipe not fitting is the least of his concerns

    For the ATP GT2X memory serves me correct the new Neuspeed TIP will fit on it. That or you have to buy the ATP TIP. The inlet is larger then the K03's.

    Okay, I take my comment back, this is a retarded post, and I hope it is a joke.
