Is anyone running a stock J boot with an aftermarket turbo? If so can you tell me how you got it to work with the largo turbo inlet?
The inlet on the turbo I have is 2.75" and i am trying to modify the stock J boot to get it to work with the larger turbo inlet. Any help or pictures would be greatly appreciated as I have had to drastically move up the time frame that I neecd to get my car on the road!

 

this is what danno sent to me before i switched to vitesse stage 3...cut the j boot back and he sent me this reducer...hope this helps

 

you can even have my old set up if you want it ...its just lying around takin up space.

 

PM sent.
Thanks!!!!

 

I've heard that an N/A J boot can be made to work with a 2.75 turbo -- never tried it myself.

 

Tom, I read the same thing somewhere but have no idea how you would hook up the blow off valve.

 

Hey, my new washing machine has the same reducer fitting! Neat-o!

I got the same reducer from Dan but it would not work on a K27. I think a k27 is 2.75" also. I would have had to cut the Jboot too much and would lost all the ports on the jboot. I bought some 3" exhaust tubing and had some ports welded on it. I then cut the jboot right before the diverter valve port because I needed that port to remain on the jboot and shoved the exhaust tubing into the cut jboot and it worked fine. I just picked up a MAF for a good deal and it included a maf pipe to go to the headlight so I am not using the jboot setup I had put together.

 

Could someone customize / remake jboot to fit without connector?
(correct entry and outlet diammetre everything stock except diam. to turbo?

 

if you are going with a bigger turbo, why wouldn't youjust complete the job with an aftermarket MAF?

 

How about you heat the j-boot

 

Just make a new boot from aluminum tubeing <--- DUH!

 

this is what i decided to do..so i switched to vitesse stage 3 and as far as that j boot set up it worked fine on the to4B turbo from danno

 

what good would heating the J boot do?
As far as making a J boot out of aluminum tubing, first you would have to have it bent to the correct dimension and then you would need to have bungs welded on.

 

This is what i did last year with a K27 and the stock airbox. I just picked up a MAF with a maf pipe to the headlight so i won't be needing this.
