I've looked on the other boards in the past to see how bad others are fitting but couldn't really find any good pictures. Although I've had this issue for quite some time, for some reason it's been bugging me today and thought I'd post a picture to see how bad mine compares to others. I took this picture a few weekends ago when I was going to see about lessening the "pinch" in the inlet section but gave up when I noticed how little room there is. Now I want to replace the turbo with a rotated setup but for the time being, have consider other stock location options but curious if I'm going to run into this same issue again or does it relate back to the turbo, as stupid as that sounds. I'd imagine this issue would have a negative impact on the air flow which also means, it's not producing the power it should be? Turbo: Deadbolt SZ55 Inlet: 3" APS hard pipe
maybe just loosen the clamp on the inlet itself and turn it a little? Just looks like its twisted or cut a 1/2-1" off and slide it further up the inlet tube
