    APR Turbo intake pipe - blanking plug and hose adapter

    Hello,

    I acquired an APR turbo intake pipe, but I dont have either the blanking plug or hose adapter.



    I contacted APR Australia to buy those parts, but they told me since I didnt buy it from them originally they were unwilling to help. Sigh what a bunch of unhelpful sods.

    Anyone know where I can get these? Or where I could buy someting similar as an alternative solution?

    Thanks

    The blanking plug will be on ebay for sure. Just measure the internal diameter. It's something like 15mm from memory.

    You can probably get a piece of tube to do the other job from Bunnings at a push.

    Farout for some reason I thought I checked ebay

    Thanks Gavin

    Just have one more question. (Could be the worlds stupidest question thou)

    Both holes are 8mm each, So I assume the 8mm connector will fit tightly into the 8mm hose.. yes?

    Do you thinkth 8mm hose connector link I have posted will create enough of a seal? I guess I could put hose clamps around each 8mm end to really tighten it up.

    Here are some links for people in the same situation.

    It would expect them to mate properly but you should have a clip over the top anyway.

    Just check your sizes first to be 100% sure.
