New Turbo Inlet

i have just ordered my forced performance 20g turbo. I am planning on purchasing a new turbo inlet tube. I have heard the perrin is the easiest to install and is the cheapest, but under high boost has been known to collapse. So I have been looking at the samco which is considerably more money, but more rigid. This inlet tube requires the removal of the intake manifold and is more labor intensive. Also looking at the avo inlet which also comes with the intake charge pipe. Does anyone have any of these and if so, how difficult is the install? Any input would be appreciated.

id recommend APS its a hard pipe application and should work well w/ your new turbo set up (seeing as 20g still retains stock position).

hope this could help

If you dont want to remove your IM, either the Perrin or any silicone inlet would be better

APS all the way! Nothing beats an actually metal pipe compared to silicone, especially for a turbo inlet pipe.
