How can anyone be helpful when there are so many brands and options out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The turbo hot side outlet is either 2" or 2.25". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plaine Member 20 Member For: 13y 11m 16d Posted 05/03/11 09:06 AM Author Share Posted 05/03/11 09:06 AM yea it was dark in the basement carpark, I have the hot side all sorted,just need a silicone elbow to complete it but on the other side it just seems there is no chance it is ever going to line up without cutting a massive amount out of the hole for the piping. I think I made a mistake buying a second hand kit,im not chasing much power so I didnt want to go buy a proper cooler but after this fiasco I think im just gonna go buy a PW stage 2 cooler kit..
