i have a powerstroke intercooler setup going on the very near future. the quicker i get these odds and ends found and ordered the better.

1- i got the aluminum elbow that goes from the intake side of the turbo the the short straight intercooler pipe. the first thing i need to know is what size is the V-band clamp that clamps that elbow to the turbo???

2- i will be running stock first gen IC pipes to my powerstroke IC and i measured the inlet and outlet of the intercooler to be 3 inches and my ic pipes i beleive are only 2.5 inches. were can i get good couplers and do my measurements seem correct.

 

Anybody?!?!?!

 

the boots you'll need to make the tubes work with the bigger intercooler inlets are here http://www.frozenboost.com/index.php...27828eb2541604

3" to 2.5"

 

get bigger piping. cooler tubz work, and he has a kit for adapting a first gen to a PS IC

 

i just dont have the cheese laying around for cooler tubes right now. thanks brandon saved that site to my favorites. im s till hunting around for a v band clamp

 

just get some 3" exhaust pipe and make 3" pipes out of them, then get one bent for the intake side and then see if you can get a 24 valve intake horn. I've heard they are just as good.

 

To answer your question, the v-band clamp is a 2.5". Your measurement of the i/c piping is correct at 2.5" as well. When the 3" tubes come around, you'll need a 3" to 2.5" reducer as Brandon said. As well as 3" to 3.25" reducers as the i/c inlet and outlet are 3.25".

 

hey-Hey!!!,
Columbus Diesel has those clamps. I got a spigot from them to adapt an HX35 to a non-ID-ed custom cross over pipe I'll be making.
cheers,
