High flow compressor outlet pipe for Evo X turbo. 2 bolt flanged, progressive tapered and larger diameter. Lightweight aluminum. Contoured machined outlet flange for smooth flow and o-ring flange face eliminates leaks and the 2 bolt gasket for proper seal. Immediately tapers from stock 1.75" diameter to 2.5" diameter and overall discharge area is increased by 100%. Don't upgrade your upper intercooler piping without eliminating this bottleneck out of the turbo! All aluminum, TIG welded construction and wrinkle black powdercoated finish.

Does anyone see any power gains from adding this monstrosity?

Nope, the actually inlet to the turbo is still the same, so it is still bottlenecked.

Maybe I am missing something but seems worthless to me.

 

+1 MONSTROSITY WORTHLESS

 

By that logic, intercooler piping is a waste. Exhaust is a waste too because the turbine wheel is a bottle neck.

 

Wrong, the biggest reason the UICP makes power is the pipe doesnt expand under boost anymore. I honestly don't think the UICP is a restriction on the stock turbo, but it expands at higher boost and you lose power that way.

On a bigger turbo the bigger ID of the aftermarket IC pipes will be worth it when you get more air flowing.

 

Well, if nothing else, the o-ring seal is nice and will help curb any boost leaks.

 

hate to see what that oring looks like after a few miles....

rumor has it rubber doesnt do well with high temps lol

 

Typically O-rings are made from Buna or Viton and the compressor outlet isn't that hot.

 

hmm.... I stand corrected... I will say that the outlet is still VERY toasty, especially with the placement of the turbo behind the engine currently....

 

Not sure going from 1.75" to 2.5" about 4" sooner in the piping is going to make much if any difference in the grand scheme of things. What might help is a pipe that had a smoother transition from the outplet of the turbo to the full 2.5" IC piping. The sudden jump in diameter would actually be more disturbing for flow honestly.

These two lines in the description seem conflicting:

 

I would argue that the larger diameter outlet 'will be worth it when you get more air flowing'.

As for UICP expanding under boost, I can see that hurting power a little bit as it basically becomes a diffuser and nozzle. But we're a couple horsepower at most if not going to a larger diameter. I would say the other primary benefit is boost response.

So, if you're looking to maximize power everywhere, I would think the bigger compressor outlet will help. How much? Maybe a couple HP at most, but that's still more than nothing.

 

I was actually looking into purchasing a piece similar to this. T1R and Blitz include a larger than stock compressor outlet pipe with their intercooler piping kits, but they were not willing to sell seperately. Also, check out atp's 3" compressor inlet pipe for $129.

 

awesome! Been looking for a 3 inch inlet pipe! the nicest outlet pipe I've seen is the one with the T1R pipes. Very smooth and gradual!

 

Once again....Where is the data substantiating the gains? This shouldn't be asked for, it should simply be provided once the product is available to market.

 

What i meant when you get more air flowing is that you will have a bigger turbo, sorry should have stated that. And with the bigger turbo hopefully comes a bigger Inlet on the turbo itself which then will match the bigger ID more.

I agree that this thing could help a little bit, but as Hiboost said a smooth transition is more important, and depending on the UICP manufacturer you get this already.
