hey guys, this is scott. red turbo miata out at stead this past weekend. I'm trying to button up my new intercooler setup and misjudged the amount of 90 degree couplers i needed.

i need one 90 degree 2.5" coupler to finish off the i/c piping. where do you guys get them locally ? i know a bunch of online sites and stuff but nothing locally in reno...im trying to get my car back on the road for reno-fernley this coming weekend.

thanks again,
Scott

If Summit doesn't have it, it may not exist in Reno.

yea i know... so damn expensive though lol. i don't enough money to afford a 50+ dollar 90 hose.

i bought all my stuff while i was in Los Angeles, 90 degree hoses were $14. -_-"

does any one have extra 90 degree couplers ? in a 2.5" size ? = )

web/mail order from CA is 1-2 days.

There's a Guage and Hose place on Rock Blvd between Glendale and Freeport. Near Western Nevada Supply. Someone once told me they had custom/ hard to find hoses and couplers. Maybe try that. Also, maybe try a Diesel truck shop like Cummins on Glendale, remember, most Diesels have turbos...

hmm, ill have to take a look tomorrow. i used to buy just straight couplers from a hydralic place near summit, but they never carried 90 degree bends. maybe ill just swing by there and they would refer me somewhere.

thanks for the help guys.

I replied to your email, but I'll post it here too. Jon at www.siliconeintakes.com has some of the best prices anywhere on quality silicone parts and he is a fast shipper (especially if you email with the urgency). I bet he could have one here via USPS Priority Mail by Saturday from CO Springs.

Hey, thanks for the referal to www.siliconeintakes.com. I picked up the last pieces for our turbo buildup from them. They shipped it the next day for me! Great price and service. I could not find the right size in reno or carson.
