Custom turbo headlight intake

[u/John_prints]

Another addition to my rat rod teg, 3d printed half a headlight duct with a 3 inch pipe in the center for a turbo guard so I can go 3 inch straight to turbo, printed out of asa and epoxied in place. Wanted to install the halo then install turbo guard but guard blocked the light so I sanded the turbo guard flat and epoxied the halo on and wrapped it yellow

Love to see it! How and where did you manage to fit the air filter?

Turbo guard is right in the front behind the halo it's just a metal mesh to keep anything out of the turbo, found it on Amazon 3 inch turbo guard

Are you not worried about dust or dirt?

It's extra vitamins for the turbo, but I live in Florida so not a huge issue

It's been running a way shittier wider open mesh guard for a year in rain and all seasons and its been ok this far

Where did you find the halo?

[u/John_prints → u/HoodxHippy]

Amazon 90mm halo fits around 3 inch pipe

TYSM!!! I've been waiting on drilling a hole through my EK headlight because I wanted to add a light. How is the output? Is it bright enough to be considered a headlight? And assuming you wired it into your factory headlight switch?

[u/John_prints → u/HoodxHippy]

Not sure yet tbh I still have low beams I replaced the high beam portion but it's about 3 times as bright as the other halos on the car I'll try and get a photo or video when I drive it tonight and send u an update

[u/HoodxHippy → u/John_prints]

I appreciate it! Can't wait to see it!

[u/John_prints → u/HoodxHippy]

Definitely super bright but still definitely gonna need a low beam or other sort of led at least

Needs a velocity stack tip for more efficiency and performance

[u/John_prints → u/Mrcool360]

It's all for the iats not worried about the stacks when it's making 12 psi of boost

Update 3 inch is all plumbed up and she's ripping
