need some help guys:

In the pic below i've circled the third sensor on theis bracket just over the intake pipe.

Image

This sensor sits right under the manifold and there are two hoses attached to it. One hose goes to the inlet pipe (ie towars the left on the pic) and the other one toward the right. Can someone please tell me which is which?

Does the hose on the left nozzle on the sensor go to the inlet pipe?

Thanks :)

Don't know what Year model you have Mo, but my AVO inlet pipe looks different from the one you have pictured. I have an MY07 GTB.

Just worked out the difference. I have a USDM inlet pipe. Yours may be a JDM inlet pipe. But I could be wrong???

Mine's is also a 07 GTB.

I think AVO revised the desing of the inlet pipe just recently and added a nozzle. Plus when i ordered it from AVO, i was sure to tell them my car's details.

Did your pipe fit perfectly? Please post if you can.

Thanks :)

This is the one I have:
http://www.avoturboworld.com/avoshop/pr ... cts_id=541

Not fitted up yet. I supplied my Model year and this is what they sent me. My inlet pipe has two blue nozzles on the side and one on top.

I looked on there JDM site and they have two different pipes. One that looks like mine and one that looks like yours. I am even more confused now.

With that one on the link you sent me, you might need to cut a bit off the engine cover to fit the last nozzle for the crank breather.

I'm going to send an email to AVO with pics and see why it won't fit...

I have checked the Japan AVO site and the inlet pipe you have is for BP/BL d,e,f and the one I have is for BP/BL a,b,c. But the JDM Legacy/Liberty is 2L turbo.

There is no listing on the Aust AVO site for silicon inlet pipes.

The inlet pipe I have is also listed on the US AVO site as fitting for
Legacy GT or spec B 2005-2006 [2.5-liter turbocharged]
Legacy GT or spec B 2007-2009 [2.5-liter turbocharged]

I have emailed Tuspeed where I got my one from to confirm the part number. Hopefully both our inlet pipes are correct and it's just a slight change to the inlet design.

They are both correct but with different fittings - yours has the crank breather on top and you will need to add a T piece in the vaccum lines to the other nozzle below that one.

Mine seems to be a bit too long and fits a little differently - AVO have sent me some pics and info on mine and i'll try to fit it again on wednesday.

I just need to cut it to the proper size.

Its all fun and games :D
