BHAF connecting Tube

[rburks]

What size Tube or pipe do I need for connecting BHAF to the TURBO Boot?? I've been running it for years without one and just soft clamping it over the lip on the BHAF but now i don't think that such a good idea after my latest turbo compressor wheel issues.

Compressor wheel was pitted and DAMAGED BY WATER as was told to me by ATS.

I've got a piece of 4" exhaust pipe stuck in the neck of the BHAF. Then just soft clamped to the neck no different.

I tried & failed with a 4" 45* elbow.  I think the issue is the flange on the BHAF is "soft" & compressible.  What is needed is a firm stiffener (like Mike's exhaust pipe) to go inside so the clamp has something to compress against.  The draft (taper) on MY BHAF flange makes it hard to get a good clamp.  

I note the OEM filter box flange has tabs to engage the turbo inlet boot.  Maybe a few screws through the parts would prevent any slip off.

i did the very same thing. Works great.

Mine are just clamped together and i can still take them out as one piece and they stay together. The 4' pipe is a good idea however.

try to put some hair spray on the bhaf lip. it will help the boot to stick to it!

Dare I ask, why you have hair spray lying around?

[Frankstein]

it made a little grippier surface or stickier . Help the boot not to slip.   spray on the lip where the boot connect, connect the boot and tighten the clamp!     Have no problem with mine.

I got a 4" pvc connector and cut it down to about 2" long, it fits in the BHAF and the tube goes over BHAF.
