CP-E Turbo inlet

[LBV]

It happened to me too. Was it the nipple facing the inside of the car? If so, what I did with mine was file the end where it broke off smooth so I could put the hose back on the end if you know what I mean.

I see what you're saying. I might try that. I superglued it for now. I drove the car a bit after install and everything seems fine. How would I know if things are not working properly?

Alright, I got a quick question. I noticed on CP-E's description of the inlet that it will fit Stock and GT series turbos. I thought the GT series had a larger inlet than stock. If it does how is this part interchangable?

I believe they provide different sized reducers that go on the end so as to properly mate to the turbo.

Looking at the pictures tho, it looks like the reducer isn't interchangable.

so i'm assuming if everyone is having a problem with the cp-e i should expect the same with my HTP inlet?

 

[RC08MS3]

well a peice of vacuum hose isnt that big of a deal to me.... idk what other issue there is, seems as if the broken nipple off the solenoid is the issue that the solenoid is plastic and you have to be gentle with it when you change the line.

I broke the nipple off the silinoid, here is my thread about it so people know what to watch out for:

so why exactly does the vacuum hose at the solenoid need to come off? Couldn't you just leave that side connected and disconnect the hose on the inlet side? Just trying to wrap my head around the problem.

with the aftermarket inlet the stock hose from silinoid to the inlet nipple isn't long enough, it's about 2 inches short, so you need to put a longer hose in there. I wastwisting and yanking and trying to get that thing off but its way down there and hard to get the right leverage. It just snapped right off on mine

the hose is not long enough, the smart thing to do is:

leave that end on the solenoid, buy a plastic/metal 2-nipple connector and connect your new hose to the end of the old hose, and connect the new hose to the inlet. wont have to kill yourself to remove the hose, and you wont risk breaking the selenoid. i suggest anyone who does it from here on out do that and save yourself a headache

Thanks for clarifying!!

Good Call!!

something that will fit a 3/16ths line, but if yours is already broken its to late

Has anyone that broke the nipple got the piece replaced (if possible)?

 

[steven88]

damn that sucks how you guys break your nipple...i guess mine is just strong from the factory....i've done inlets on my car 3 times and never had a problem with that nipple...i just lube it up a bit with silicone....and slowly twist and turn...it usually slides off with little resistance

 

[RC08MS3]

wow dude, couldn't find an inlet you liked?

 

[UHATEIT]

pissed me off, I was thinking about that tube adapter, but didnt expect it to break like that!

I did my inlet before many of the people on the forum were doing theirs and this huge inlet craze became the hottest/most popular part to put on this car right now. But When I did mine there was no mention of this ever breaking, so I was probably one of the first to find out.
