I recently installed the do88 intakes hoses supplied by Sam at By Design.
I will be featuring my build on here next month when we get finished, but suffice it to say the results are very impressive.
Great quality and excellent fitment from the team at do88!

Same here... Isak from D088 was great to deal with in terms of answering questions and I bought directly from Sam. Goes without saying Sam’s tremendous support as I did the entire install myself. Plenum, Y-pipe, and hoses. The hoses required some intercooler frame grinding to fit, but a distinct difference in diameter vs. stock plastic turbo pipes. Clearly the stock inlets are much more restrictive. I will be documenting my build with new coolers, pipes, Kline, ProTune etc. as soon as I finish.

Very interest in the inlet hoses and the intercoolers. Seems like the thread answered most my questions. How do I order these for US shipping or do you have a US distributor?
Thanks

I have no doubt these inlet hoses might give better results I have not tried them.. but Porsche sometimes does things for a reason, their engineers know a thing or two..

It could be they needed to meet certain requirements or regulations so they had to use smaller diameters, but it could also well be that the plastic pipes they are using, just like the manifolds, have a certain shape that optimizes velocity of air.. the restriction accelerates the air inside the pipes as it creates a Bernoulli effect. As it accelerates it provides more air quantity and it also cools it down.

I was surely thinking the same thing about the y pipe and the plenum. But not so much for the inlet pipes. Its seems the factory piece right off the turbo is rather restrictive. I'd say that's where the most improvement will be made.

If anyone is curious, I've contacted do88 directly and Isak has given me lots of good info on their products. Also he have given me some pretty amazing quotes for their intercooler y pipe, plenum, turbo inlets. They have responded quickly to all my emails.

Please post it up. Info is power.

Inlets definitely work and are recommended with larger turbos. Our aluminum ones will be up soon if anyone want's something different than the usual silicone

Do we have any facts or data yet to determine if any substantial improvement on road course tracking. Short runs are probably great but sustained tracking would be good to hear about. That 's where a non misting IC solution would be really nice to aid heat soak.

I now considering a do88 Big Pack and Plenum since my stock y-pipe failure.

Are the Inlet pipes not needed with my stock turbos?

onfireTTS

Inlets are optional. Potentially better for less inlet pressure drop. If you go that route, add aftermarket diverter valves to complete the package.

With IC’s , y pipe, inlet pipes, diverter valves and associated tubing, might as well add the new Tial Turbochargers with the larger turbine since you will be on top of the turbos. Once and done !

I just ordered the full kit from AIM performance along with a Plenum.. Some parts were out of stock and back ordered. I got the last of a couple parts. Plenum should be restocked next week.
