Turbo Afm

Ok Guys So I Got The Big Tb. Now The Fun Part. I Also Got A Turbo Afm That Has The Na Guts In It, No Prob. Now How The %@^ Do I Mount The Turbo Afm, I Got It From The Scrapper Without Brackets. The Na Mounts With That Little Plate. Diff Bracket?? And Now The Really Hard Part, How To Get The Tb And Afm Connected. I Got A Silicon Adapter For Between The 2 And Theres A Curve, What Works Well To Make That Curved Piece. And From The Afm To The Cold Air Intake Is There A Turbo Rubber Hose That Fits Properly, Is The Turbo One Bigger ? Please Excuse All Reading Its Hard To Explain Quickly. What Do The Rest Of You Guys Do Or Is There A Kit.

maybe this will help... TURBONETICS has about every single coupler you can imagine. I bought one from them for my IC pipe to TB connection. They are pricey... but good shee-at!

-click on "catalog" on the left
-then click on "turbochargers & accessories"
-towards the bottom of the list "silicone connectors"

and wa-la!

I actually don't have mine mounted like the stock turbo afm. Yes, my filter is still in the engine bay. I didn't want to gouge out a huge hole in the radiator support to get all the pipes through.

no pics, but the way i have mine setup is, that connecting hose that connects to the front of the AFM take a 2" wide 2" long section stick one end in the filter about 1" and the other end in the pipe. tighten it down and it works great.

I guess if it seals tight, then it's all good!
