Hey gang,

Anyone know where to buy bulk silcone couplers in the GTA...you know the kind you use on charge piping?

I would even be prepared to buy a long section and cut to size if required.

Let me know if anyone has ever seen it in a store.

d00d he's talking couplers, not mandrel bends. Dan, I got mine from mcmaster.com (mcmaster-carr in Chicago) and I got a 3 foot section of it. If you can't find any, Carrier truck centers has it and it's used for coolant hose. Tell them you drive your rig up north and need silicone. LOL But rubber will also do you fine.

B where did you find the couplers on mcmaster? I was told to look for mcmaster nitrile couplers but couldnt find anything.

its all good man, i searched for like an hour and all i could come up with was like tubing with 1" ID.

imported_zc_hatch

nope B they sell couplers too(the rubber or silicone whatever) that holds a cold air intake or charge pipes on. I'm SURE

Yeah Chris, I spend a couple days hunting down a few hundred bux worth of miscellaneous stuff too. I'll let you know the part #.

Just a quick reminder to all....
You coupler that connects the turbo to the piping will need to withstand the most heat. Also this coupler is usually a different size than rest of them.

i think i found what im looking for finally on mcmaster. if im using 2.5" IC piping ill need a coupler with a 2.5" ID right?
