I've just got an email from Pro Alloy (along with all of the group buy people) to say that they have started selling a straight induction pipe at £75 (inc delivery), which seems like a good price to me. I think we all know the quality and reputation of Pro Alloy on here.

Here is the link.

Can anyone explain to a thicko like me exactly what the induction pipe does, ie what it connects to and what it replaces etc?

It basically makes the pickup smoother, less air restriction and makes the boost come in a few 100 revs lower on average from what ive read here. generally a good mod for anyone wanting to make the breathing for their coop better and offsets the lag you get with most bigger turbos &/or FMIC's a little.

Can anyone who phones up pro alloy ask what the inlet and outlet sizes are for the pipe as i need the standard bit one end, but 2.75" the other end as i may as well get the best out of it <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

that's a very good price compared to barbz's who not even making them at the moment.

Is this for a dump to atmos or a recirc or does it not matter?

I'll try and find out from Wayne about the diameters and which dump valve it should fit.

So, can anyone explain what it actually connects to? I'll probably fit it between the washer reservoir and the EBV otherwise <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Its a recirc one. needs one thing blocking off if you have an atmos dumpvalve.

It goes from turbo inlet to your air flow meter which then connects to your cone airfilter.

You need to have an FMIC for this mod.

im planning on ordering one this avo.. had planned to order one from torque italia, but this ones cheaper so its worth a go!

What are these 4 pipes on the straiht induction pipe for?

Straight induction pipe

Starting from the left on the pic,

oil breather
vac pipe for fuel vapour recirc
vac pipe for ebv
recirc dump valve

Thanks!I have at this moment a SQQV HKS dump valve.Can i fit this on it so that i can hear the sound?

An where are all these pipes normally located?

Yes - you just need to bung up the return pipe that you'd have connected with a recirc valve. Some people found that a dump to atmos and a straight induction caused the A/f sensor to missbehave a bit though...

Straight off the turbo compressor inlet. The AFM attaches to the end followed by an induction kit filter.

Does anybody have pictures with the straight induction pipe fitted so that i can see and understand the installation of the pipes and the atmospheric valve?That would be very helpful!!!If yes here is my email adress:

nichlosmanos@hotmail.com

A search should find those ..

Some pictures here, with a not very straight filter arrangement. There will probably be more in the original ProAlloy Group Buy thread too.

Thanks Roger!But on the ProAlloy pipe there are 4 pipes attached and here two.Is that right?

but for the hoses ?

Barbz one here , and fitted here or here (without turbo). .

On the Pro Alloy site doesn't say you have to have a cone air filter installed?

I've just got a drilled airbox with panel filter so no good for me

oops, only read the fist line above.

cone filter be it k&n/apexi/ramair whatever goes on the other end of the induction pipe. this whole setup replaces the airbox and associated pipework.

This straight induction pipe is ONLY for people who have done away with the standard side mount intercooler SMIC, which normally means those who have fitted a front mount intercooler FMIC. The straight pipe ends under and to the front of the battery tray, and the cone filter sits in the place previosuly taken up by the SMIC.

So if you still have the SMIC you will not be able to use the straight induction pipe.

recieved mine yesterday, seems like a nice bit of kit, and nicely finished with the powder coating!

Nice one yellow_coop. Are you planning to fit it yourself? I'm wondering if there are any other parts required, eg hoses etc?

fitting it is simple stuff, a few pieces of silicon hose and some hose clips.

as for what comes in the kit its just the bare pipe, but theres nothing else required but a couple of pieces of hosing that can be sourced from the likes of

The taper adds a fair amount to the cost. ProAlloy can do a 3" (no taper) pipe for approx £45 + VAT (i.e. £30 + VAT cheaper!). This should fit GT28R[S] series turbos with 3" inlets (standard on the GT28RS and optional on the GT28R).

Now polling for interest here.

Nice one Roger. Have added a couple of questions to the group buy poll thread <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
