you take any other pics of just the turbokit piece by piece? and we can feature you.. looks good btw,

and you might want to get some finer mesh for the turbo inlet screen, lol, that ---- looks like a cut off fence or something.

how would you attach an elbow to the turbo inlet? ive seen people use like silicone couplers but wouldnt those melt? do you have to use silicone ones or can you use those rubber ones they have at like home depot?

silicon should work.. you can be creative and route it to where it can draw colder air too

can you use rubber connectors to connect to a metal pipe that would have the air filter?

im trying to figure out if i can just buy all my connectors and charge pipes at home depot cuz its close and their stuff is relatively cheap compared to the "real stuff"
