Yep, custom silicone tubing, or silicone tubing with 'off the shelf' silicone tube size adapters?

Can you not put your previous intake back on for the clutch change to give you some more time to get a proper custom silicone jobber made up?

No. Its because its a Type S. ATTS has to be removed. So does the crossmembers, exhaust and engine mounts.

I found a uk seller though, so that sped up the delivery.

Tried and didnt work. The gap is too small and it isnt 45degree angle. I have all types of silicone hosing and nothing works.
Ill justs try air ducting.

I'd been thinking about doing my clutch in a couple of months. Sounds like it's a right mission

If your keeping the type s intake for quietness then fine but I don't think there's any point for performance now your engine is FI. Might just be easier to get an induction kit, or cut up the metal pipe from one and connect it to your airbox?

Buy an ebay cheap air intake and cut it, thats how i fitted my skunk2 intake manifold to my type-s intake.
I´ve painted in matte black looks good in my opinion

yeah think you might find standard intake bit restrictive now

butchering a cheap intake is also a good option

The type S I take is much larger than the one I had before. Also it's a cold air intake so it will keep my iats down a little. Plus it looks better.

The charger us a blower not a compressor so it just speeds up the intake of air so I think the amount if volume the type S intake has will help. If it's only a few hp difference I'll be fine.
