Help me with some measurements?

[Kor]

Hi all,

Can anyone help me to find out some specifications on the following? I tried measuring some of them on my car but I don't have anything except a crappy elementary school ruler handy. I need to find out:

- Stock intercooler piping diameter from turbo -> smic on 1.8T
- Stock throttle body diameter where upper intercooler pipe/hose connects

I am guessing its 2.5" for the first and 3" for the second.

Basically I want to order some Silicon hose bends/connectors today and I don't want to get the wrong size. I'm at work so I can't run out and do any better measurements either.

I was hoping to make a metal pipe from SMIC to TB, so please post results when you find 'em!

If you dont have a flexible tape, take a string or shoe lace, wrap it around the pipe, mark it & then measure it on your ruler.

**** that is a pretty good idea. That gets the circumference, then I need to use some mumbo-matho-jumbo to get the diameter... DIVIDE BY PI!

See they where right when they said you would use math outside of school!

Won't help me since my car isn't here with me at work, if anyone's got the day off I would appreciate a check!

Come to think of it, does anyone know a good place to order silicon(e) hoses from?

I also need to know how wide the opening is on a VW OEM or Forge diverter valve

There is also a custom hose place by Concept 1.. where Speedville used to be. Hose Headquarters..

Hmmm I was thinking they would be wicked expensive for something like this, but I could try it.
