Mine is metal, what do you mean fix the elbow inlet? I have the elbow that came with my turbo. The stock one is long gone.
Mine is the tube that comes with the aFe stage two... so mine is plastic. I think it'll still help though. What do you mean by fix the elbow inlet on the turbo??

the wrapping looks good.
You need to remedy the big ass restriction just downstream of the AFE tube. Take off that "mouthpiece" and look at it. You'll see what i mean. It's not that hard to remove.
Consider that at full throttle, 800 cfm of air moves through your insulated tube at 100 mph. Through conduction, convection and radiation combined, how much heat do you think it can pick up in that 0.02 seconds it takes to go from the airbox to the turbo? FFT.
beach_33,
I haven't fixed the "LLY compressor efficiency issue" yet if that's what your're refering too.
Killerbee,
Where can I find a pic or somethin' because I don't get what you mean by "mouthpiece"... and just to clarify I have the LLY with the aFe and NWTDIESEL has the LB7 with a MAC tube and aftermarket elbow. We weren't sure who you were were talking to . I know for a fact NWTDIESEL has no restrictions.

that is what i was talking about. i would be intrested in how you fix it. i have not done mine yet
Yeah I haven't decided what i'm gonna do yet but once I start workin on it and get it fixed i'll start a thread or somethin and let you know.
If you beat me to it let me know what you did lol!
Thanks! That's alot of good info. I'm going to look into it further but the hand machined LLY mouthpiece looks like a good fix. Thanks again for the help.
