homemade meth elbow?

Pulled this off of N54tech. Anyone built theit own and can come one confirm the size of the stock CP?

"Keep you stock diverter valves and get the Frozen boost charge pipe. Iam not sure if the stock charge pipe is 2.25" or 2.50". Clarify the size with someone else and then buy it. Go to Frozen boost .com get 1 silicone joiner with 3 meth bungs, 1 45 degree silicone coupler,1 straight coupler, and 4 hose clamps. It comes out to like $50 shipped."

The 2.25" hose clamps in your list are probably too small for a thick 2.5" silicone hose. I used 70 mm clamps (see picture).

i just installed my FB meth elbow. You have to shave down some hose from the 45 degree bend becuase its to big but other than that it was well worth it.
