I can't find the right size silicone coupler anywhere!!!!!!!

[[GoaTSLonG]]

I have a gt2871r bottom mounted with a hks fmic and heavy throttle hot pipe, and i need a 45° silicone bend to connect them.........problem is the turbo outlet is 2" o.d. and the hot pipe is 2.25" o.d. does anyone make 45° transition hoses?

[Flybert]

Nope. Just buy a 2" coupler to a 45 degree aluminum or steel bend and get a 2.25" coupler. This shit isn't rocket science.

dude, thats what i have on my car right now and its a tight fit between the master cylinder and the hot pipe, so i cant get a good seal and it keeps blowing off. you think i dont have a brain?

So you need something like this? www.Turbohoses.com has them.

Try http://www.atpturbo.com/

Amazon.com sells spring loaded tbolt clamps. That'll keep that shit from popping off.

Those things are a ripoff. They want $40 for a 45 degree transition. It says to email them for a custom 45 transition. I bet you'll be paying $60 plus for one coupler. Screw that. Just weld a 45 degree bend onto your turbo outlet or just cut up the hotpipe and weld the necessary aluminum bend on it to meet up with the turbo.

I just walked around in the back of auto parts store until i found a radiator hose that i could cut up and make work....works fine.

just to let everyone know.... silicone hoses arent cheap. if you a find the right one you need but it seems to cost more than you expected to pay for it... deal with it. the project always has setbacks.
