Still curious if anyone has done the VRSF or MST options. |

Vader solutions also has an N55 high flow inlet. Low price. Looks similar to the VRSF or the v1 Pure. I feel like I read a thread that someone went this route. Dont recall if he posted any results or post install thoughts. I'm curious how these are attached to the turbo. The MST v2 and Pure v2 both have a bracket to bolt to the turbo. The Pure v1/VRSF/Vader dont appear to have the bracket. Just friction fit? |

Is that the one you are talking about? It looks quite short compared to the VRSF and other similar options... It doesnt even specifically say it will work with stock inlet cut to fit. More of a DIY. You are correct that some options do not have the bracket where the bolt goes through to hold it onto the turbo. Apparently the nut does contact the inlet a bit though and sort of holds it on? I have been talking alot with ozymandias435 who is doing a lot of experimenting with different inlets and hes said that they fit very tight and the nut does help a little. Still seems like a inferior design, like the downpipes that dont have the support bracket on them. I guess its a way to cut costs. |

I am also not sure about the fairly abrupt change in diameter in the FTP and Pure; im sure it works fine but something about the smooth transition in diameter of the MST seems appealing. At the same time, having a silicone instead of rigid pipe under vacuum (albeit relatively small vacuum if your intake is not super restrictive) doesn't seem ideal. I love the idea of adding an inlet just for the sake of optimization but I'm not quite ready to pull the trigger on one yet. |

MST V2 - Listed for upgraded turbo? Anyone heard any updated on BMS releasing a 3" inlet? I seen it posted several weeks back on a different forum. What about VRSF's inlet? Any measurements on this one? Last edited by 5w20; 05-25-2020 at 02:39 PM.. |

Saw that same thread regarding the BMS Inlet but have not seen any more information on it. Not really sure where they are going to get any more space from because the Pure and MST V2 seem to be maxing out the turbo opening. The Pure is 2.5 inches external diameter and 2.28 inches internal diameter for reference. |

You will see he is demonstrating this with what appears to be the hybrid turbo inlet, but thats because the car he is installing it on actually had a PS2 i believe. What would be really useful is if someone can measure the ID of the compressor housing where the air goes into the compressor wheel (arrow pointing below). You really need to have that exactly match the inlet. |

Stock inlet mouth is 1.85 inches As for using a larger inlet mouth against the stock turbo hole......Pure and MST V2 are the exact same size. Seems like some people are having success with the Pure at picking up some small MAF gains It seems to me that having the inlet be slightly larger than the mouth of the turbo then that would give the turbo the most access to air. You're saying that the turbo would suck more air with more of a vacuum through a pipe the size of the opening that then gets larger? |

I think you are right about Pure and MST V2, but do confirm when you get the MST. The thing i was pointing out is that you dont really want that sudden change in diameter, so if the metal part of the inlet where it slides into the turbo is a larger ID than the "turbo hole" you have a abrupt change in diameter and the air going to be hitting that "lip" which is not great for airflow (not a smooth transition at all as the air at the outside is basically hitting a wall perpendicular to air flow). So I guess what i am saying is it might be better to use the MST stock turbo metal piece and not the hybrid turbo one (for stock turbo), if the hybrid one will cause that sudden change in diameter. In this case the airflow would smoothly transition from the larger diameter at the the top of the MST where it connects to the intake, down to the size of the "turbo hole". By this same logic the MST with stock turbo metal piece should result in cleaner airflow into the turbo than say Pure, if the ID of the pure at the bottom where it goes into the turbo is bigger than the "turbo hole", which is likely the case since it is designed for PS2, which has a larger "turbo hole". |

Figured i would go ahead and bump this thread with the new option we just found out about from BMS. I vaguely recall it mentioned before, not sure if in this thread, but it was not out for N55 F chassis at the time. Here it is:

Yup, and the shape is not correct at all for F3x N55 turbo to intake connection; its not just a elbow its very much curved/turned.

Are you guys logging the before and after? I just want to see if you can actually hold more boost, or lower the WGDC
