FP Red/Green inlet pipe - what are you guys using?

As the title says - what intake pipe are you guys hooking up to the 3inch FP turbos?
I've scoured the internet trying to find the answer to this to no avail

But obviously the usual Perrin/Cobb etc silcone inlets aren't going to do the job here.

The ATP and ETS pipes look like they could work - they appear to use 3" pipe with a silicone reducer which could be substituted with a straight joiner.

Thanks in advance guys.

Basically any intake that uses a 3" pipe will work with a straight silicone coupler. The 3" intakes available use a reducer for the turbo inlet. As you mentioned, you'd just swap the reducer for a straight 3" coupler and you'd be set. That would be the easiest way.

So 3 inch intakes would be...
ETS (do they sell the pipe seperately, it looks like the whole intake comes as a kit)
Buschur?
ATP
... these are all metal pipes. Please help me with any I've missed

Anyone know of any silicone ones?

AMS is also a 3" intake, but like any of them you need to replace the reducer with a 3" coupler.

You can use just about any intake youd like... I'm sure the guys at ETS would be willing to swap the couplers so its good to go right out of the box.

Cheers!

The ETS intake pipe works well. I just ordered a 3" coupler and clamp separately. It was fairly inexpensive.

What options are there for people who wish to retain the stock BOV and maf/airbox location as well?

There's no difference.. The intake remains the same, the only difference is the coupler.

When you place your order ask for a 3" straight instead of the reducer. If you shoot me an email with your information I'll arrange this for you. My email is tamer@4wstuning.com

Cheers!

I have not found a intake yet that retains stock BOV position/location and has the ability to put on a 3" coupler to match with the FP 80mm housing inlet...

If there is no one that makes them I might make my own...

Buschur intake is 3 inches and should be fine with stock box & bov.

And of course you need to swap the reducer with a straight 3 inch coupler.

It won't... notice bov location.

I actually have one and when used with the stock box, it retains the stock BOV position. The one in your picture is the intake with cone filter and for some reason he has the BOV hose routed differently.

So now that we have confirmed you can run the Buschur with the stock BOV location, does it fit the stock maf/airbox location?
