LegacyDan Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Hi guys, Happy Independence day to most of you guys, i need a bit of advice before tackling this install. Looking at my standard inlet hose it has 4 connections in total coming off it(jdm car, not sure how many on US model)whereas Perrin one has 5. i had a look through the instructions that came with it, they are not very clear on this. So i do i need to just blank off the spare inlet on the Perrin hose and connect the other 4 the same as they are on the stock one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LegacyDan Posted July 4, 2011 Author Share Posted July 4, 2011 weird, so the extra inlet on the hose must only be used on the 08+wrx? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmx045 Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 I know nothing about your setup. My friend need to plug a port when he went to an ebcs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegacyDan Posted July 4, 2011 Author Share Posted July 4, 2011 heh me neither! I have a go at installing it after work so, plugging the spare inlet and see how the car likes it after that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegacyDan Posted July 4, 2011 Author Share Posted July 4, 2011 this is the hardest thing i have ever tried to install pain in the ass. at least i found the cause of my boost leak: http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d3/desperatedano/P1010918.jpg only managed to get BOV return connected, still have to get it onto turbo and other lines connected up and everything put back together. tomorrow is another day. http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d3/desperatedano/P1010921.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmx045 Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Yup. Stock inlets are known to tear easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRSCobra Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 I doubt that would be the cause of your boost leak, since the inlet isn't pressurized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmx045 Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 But vac leak. Yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blameless Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 I doubt that would be the cause of your boost leak, since the inlet isn't pressurized. But it would run like a dog as its all un-metered air from there... I found this a PITA as well but even worse finding all the evidence that its poorly spent money when it comes to bang for your buck. MRT in Australia dont even touch the inlet/airbox till its over 380HP... sigh... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compsurge Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Also check the TMIC to TB Hose for leaks if running an aftermarket intercooler. You will need a tune for the turbo inlet as well AFAIK. Also, I hate that effing inlet hose. Biggest PITA ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegacyDan Posted July 7, 2011 Author Share Posted July 7, 2011 found lots of leaks today with the help of a guy in work! New clamps and silicone turbo elbow ordered to fix this. i might try the AVO TB hose again that i bought a few weeks ago but its seems too long compared to the stock jdm one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
