I currently have what seems to be the stock intake with a z32 maf. But it seems as though the rubber part was missing so I used a retractable extener which is a pos! it keeps disconnecting from the turbo. Any ideas where I can source one? I'm running a T3 which is mounted low.

TIA

Contact PipingPro.com. I have a custom intake pipe from him and I love it. He does great cutom work. He takes a while in shipping, but it is worth it!!!

On a side note: How in the hell do you have a bottom mount T3? Where did you get the manifold, and how modified (read: beat with a 5# sledge) is your shock tower?

It was a T4 and it wasn't bottom mount. It was also a twin scroll/divided inlet.

That would make things worse. That would move it farther down into the motor mount. The T28 barely clears the motor mount as it is.

You think you could link me to it because I just tried looking for it on there site and could not find it.

Yep it's a Precision GT3071R which is kinda big for the CA. The boost does not kick in until you hit about 5k rpms but once you get there it hauls ***! I was thinking of taking it out and selling it and buying a t28. So that I can have boost within 2k rpm.
