I gotta be honest... I bought an AutoZone ricer "cold air intake" aluminum pipe... because it's 3" diameter, has 2 vacuum ports, and came w/ a 3" to 2.5" rubber coupler.

This is what it looked like on my stock turbocharger:

Which cold air intake piping did you get?Do you have a part #

NismoPick

The 3" one that's in the first pic I posted. They only sell one or two of them... so go look at them.

I didn't see that one on the autozone site.I went to advanced auto and found this one.Is this the same as yours?

NismoPick

Yep... that's the one. But that website quotes $44! I got mine for $15.

mikesz

Autozone does have the same one for$38.99....Talk about a price hike.You must of purchased yours sometime ago.

NismoPick

In 2004 I think... Gotta love inflation. You could prolly find one cheap on ebay.

I looked on ebay with no luck.I'm at work right now and it's a busy day.If you find a link to one on ebay,please post a link.

is the stock T28 turbo a 2.5" inlet or is that only the T3/04 turbo?

I ended up buying the pipe.Did you run the straight part of the pipe from the turbo on up.

NismoPick

The bent end connects to the turbo, then the long straight end runs up behind the left headlight. I had to chop down the length to fit the AFM & filter in.

Here's some other angles:
