I really don't think you guys are grasping the concept of this inlet.

Looks great, have you found a source for the o-rings?

i have a O-ring factory near my work place in Israel
i am going to use heat resistest flat 1.5 mm thick 2 mm wide rings to make it have an overall OD of 65.5 with the o-rings on

as for the rest of the pipe, i will see what i can do to make it happen

What would it cost if you started to sell these? I want to upgrade my inlet but honestly have no idea where I'm going to find someone to fabricate something this.

well, i am doing it at my free time
one thing i found out about the E-series inlet pipe that it has a non standart angle into the turbo intake,
meaning, a simple 90 degree pipe will not clear the hotside chargepipe to the IC, and it needs to be somewhat kinked on the lower part to clear the pipe

not clear if i am up to finishing it
