    As one of the final bits on the engine conversion im still needing to connect or join my procomp induction scoop/kit to the engine.

    The bore of the VTS throttle body is 63mm iirc, yet the bore of the end piece of the procomp is considerably smaller (i dont have this figure to hand)

    For those of you who have one fitted, how have you done so? is there anywhere where i can get the relevant parts from in order to get it fitted.

    Ive looked at hose reducers and so forth, but im not convinced.

    When i bought it there was the correct join etc attached which fitted nicely, unfortunately id ordered the Samco hose, and in doing so wrongly assumed that this would simply replace the existing part and sold on the bit that came with the induction scoop.

    Any advice greatly appreciated

    L shaped samco hose from procomp to the TB.

    front pannel came with brackets i bolted to slam pannel.

    the samco goes over the end of the procomp so if its the same size as the tb you just need to have it further down the induction kit.

    Cheers Ryan, ive got the brackets still to attach to the slam panel, that bits a doddle

    The bore of the end of the procomp is at least 10mm smaller than the 63mm bore of the TB - which is a pain.

    EDIT: Josh i can see you reading this, ive tried calling you a few times forgetting that your phone is knackered. O2 need a slap

    that sounds like the best solution.

    As long as its air tight as such, otherwise your defeating the whole point of having the filter.

    the elbow did slide further onto the scoop than in this picture that was the first fitting.

    Man if i miss anything from my vts it was the noise from the procomp

    Looks like a tight fit, Did the engine ever knock the procomp?
