yeah, if the old inlet is toast, cut it out and shove that new one in there. That only took a few mins, but getting the old one out without breaking it sucks.

Not mine. My Gimmick inlet took forever to get on my Blouch 18G. I eventually gave up and had S&R do it. My turbo sits very close to the TGV housing and the inlet did not have enough of a curve in it to clear easily like the stock one. I probably wouldnt have had much problem with a stock turbo, but I still dont ever want to do another inlet install.

Yeah like I said I think it had a lot to do with where/how my turbo sits. Heres a pic...



See how close the turbo is to the TGV motor?
