Max Capacity Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 When I ripped my inlet putting the vf52 on, I knew then, the next time I'd bolt the turbo on. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs.

mtchll50 Posted February 14, 2014 Author Share Posted February 14, 2014 Luckily i was able to salvage/rig enough for it to seal until i get a new one. Time to start looking for a perrin or similar Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I went with a OEM inlet, I wasn't looking for big HP. Check the fitment on the Perrin, I think there's a missing nipple ? 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD).

Max Capacity Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I know they make a fitting that you use a nut to hold it in the hose after you drill a hole and feed the nipple through from the inside and thread the nut on. Can't remember where but I've seen them, I seem to recall we had one on the race car. Os on one of the test set up's at work. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.
