95mm to 76mm 90 degree elbow then 76mm to 60mm reducer 😉
As Buffaroo says, reducers!!! Ebay has loads.. Just type in silicon reducers. I also used a lot of mandrill bent exhaust sections to make up pipes that look original. The intercooler pipework is the same.. It takes a lot of time but its worth it with the finished product... Here's my RH intercooler pipe in the manufacturing (try it and c if it fits) stage!!!! :DQuote:

Reducer after reducer looks crap though :(
If my memory serves me right, the turbo is on the left of your engine... Have a 4" to 3" 90 deg reducer coming off the air box facing forward, into a 3" pipe.. Run it to the turbo inlet, ideally at 90 deg to the inlet. Then use a 3" to 2" 90 deg reducer into the turbo. It'll look tidy, especially if u use blue hoses, and spray the pipe up in silver (not a garish galvy silver).. It'll tie in nicely with the orange.... :)
It'll be black or orange silicone and stainless tube
So, fellow 101ers, what are my 6 101 rims wrapped in Michelin 255/100 R16's worth? Two of them r still new.... Im going to go down the 19.5" rim and truck tyre route as I seem to be doing decent kms....
New Michelins are £200-300 each, rims perhaps 50 to 70 each.
Let's say between £1500-£2160 in UK money?
Just looking at the picture I noticed that heavy weight , you should think about tyre beadsQuote:

I went away from truck tyres because they are very stiff in the sidewalls , you have to run them at too high a pressure, (~100psi) but I run the 35's at 35psi , much better ride & I rarely have to let them down , downside is the MT's only last 35,000km
That's the other reason for going to truck tyres... :)Quote:
