bigger than those.would have measurements till tomorrow.
ghost may have them from getting the samco's

If you have the turbo at hand just measure the intake side of turbo, its not that big TBH, about 40mm at most, as for the angle of the pipe no idea as mine is in silicone and not metal like the one in your picture and is made up of about 3 bits which is rubbish, but havn't got round to getting a single section made up as it would be expensive, or getting a proper metal pipe made up, tho never got round to that either.

Air filter you had was BMC F1, but any decent filter will do, but get a BMC quote as they are expensive if your getting insurance money for the items.

always full of usefull information arent ya aaron. ta mate will go measure intake.

Samco hoses on the intake side are 45mm ID (inner diameter)

well i got about 42 guessing 45mm hose will fit. unsure where to get right size pipe, guessing it would be just a 90 degrees turned one though.

my bad i went for 44mm in end as my measurements a mm out

looks like will have to go for a none straight stainless pipe anyone provide me with a parts list for what i need, long shot.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MINI-COOPER-ON...QQcmdZViewItem even has the breather spigot on.. not sure what bore the pipe is though.

You could always ask them the size and tell them what you are after and see if they have anything suitable.

i got a pipercross filter off ebay(not fitted yet)which has a breather outlet on the filter tube.unfortunatly the listing didnt say what the filter was originaly for

im right in thinking that the bore for the induction pipe shouldnt be more than 2 and a half inches arent i? making it any bigger would cause a negative effect?

TBH you don't really need the induction pipe to be any bigger than the turbo inlet, 2" is probably about the max you really want to go as this is 50ish.mm so a small reducer will be needed to ensure a tight fit from it to the turbo its self.

What you could do tho is if you have a local s/s exhaust maker they should have pipes or correct size to make up a pipe for you, 1 3/4" is about perferct size, and it shouldn't be betonf them to drill a hole in pipe and weld on a breather pipe rturn for you as well.

Or if you had access to a pipe bender then you could buy this and make up yourself http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...MEWA%3AIT&rd=1

managed to get in touch with alex at van aaken through my mechanic mate, he said he's willing to do one for me also they still have the last turbo kit still up for grabs at 800 i believe.

Would turbo fit 1108 mpi Sei?
