Turbo Intake pipe

[Markwood]

Good day to all, does anyone know where I can get the turbo intake crossover pipe for a 91 cyclone. The original one is plastic, in the plastic broke at the first elbow, and the Turbo sucked in the plastic, and, we assume that's what damage the engine. I have recently had the engine remanufactured, for an amazing price, but when the turbo got chewed up from that plastic, a Rebuilder of the turbo, told me, do not use the original plastic intake, because this is a very common problem.

So, what I would love to know, does anybody make a stainless steel, or aluminum crossover pipe for this? If not, where can I get an original one. Thanks, Mark

As far as I know there is no source for a stock replacement unless you find an individual selling an original one. There has been some talk about aftermarket production of replacements/upgrades but so far no joy. There are a few aftermarket ones around that do not look stock. Some of them require moving the overflow jug or the battery. RPM-Syty Performance is the only vendor I'm aware of that currently sells new ones so you will have to get lucky and find the other styles used if you don't like the one they sell.

I sleeved mine and rebuilt the ends with epoxy and fiberglass to keep using my stock one. It was a pita.

Thanks, that's what I have been finding out. I wound up moving the intake to passenger side with a 3 inch stainless steel 90, and took orginal overflow tank and replaced it with a different one in place of the old filter box.

I was thinking of repairing the orginal but was told not because over time it becomes very brittle and would 100 percent have another issue at some point. So, it's a shame that lots of part are no lone made for these ungodly machines of an era that is long past.

I am orginal owner of this 30 year old with 43k miles, and they can still keep up with supercars of today....GMC....bring it back again, and show us what you can do!!!! I have a BMW M6, and it will give it a run for its money for sure.

Keep your eyes open on the market place in this forum and check e-bay as well. They are rare but do come up every so often. I have even seen one on Craigslist before. I called about that one but it was already gone when I saw the ad.
