They will be for S4 TII's, and right now I am just takeing order's/guageing interests. They will fit from the stock air box to the stock turbo. And will be the size of the AFM all the way to the turbo, and have silicone cuplers. And for an extra charge I can have them powder coated. And both bends will be mandrel bent.
For a price, how is $100 shipped.
If you want one, tell me because I am going to order the things that I need to make them, also if you want it any color tell me, and if they sell it at like advanced auto parts, or auto zone, I will buy a can of 500 degree paint and paint it within that price. But for power coating, the guy that does it locally charges $20 or so, so that is what it will cost you, on top of the regular price. Or if I get a TON of orders for these I will drop the price, and the price for powder coating, because the guy has a car sized over, and he will fill it up, and do them all the same color for $100 bucks or so.
Anyways if you would like to give me a heads up that you want one PM me, od just post.

Yes, it is a turbo inlet duct. If you have a TII it is the accordian tube that goes from under the air box to the turbo's inlet on the compressor.
And I believe it will be 3", anyways it will be the size of the MAF, and then there will be a reducer that takes it down to the stock turbo inlet size.
And it will be mandrel bend 304 steel, or at least I think that is what kind of steel the company sells, I will have to check on that one.

Just so you don't get in way over your head, 3" mandrel bent pipe cannot make the necessary tight bend to fit in the stock location under the airbox to the turbo.
Hummm, I need to order some of the pipeing in different sizes and find out. But now that you said that it will probably be 2.25-2.5 inch mandrel bends.
Have you tested/run/dyno'd this TID?
Go drop your "pearls of wisdom" somewere else, I don't want to here them!
And how would I run it? I don't even have a 13BT, and it isn't going to make much of a differince in HP, but it may give a couple, and it is mostly to clean up your engine bay, and get rid of that ugly accordian pipe. But I don't know if it will or won't give HP, it may give 20 HP for all I know. But I know it will look WAY better than stock.

OK, I jsut ordered a 2.5 inch, and 3 inch mandrel U bends, and I'm gona make one out of the 3 inch if the radius is tight enough. But other wise it will have to be the 2.5. And I really can't go any smaller than that, because other wise it will restric the flow, because the turbo inlet size is 2.5, so I'll see how it goes once they get to my house.
