on the standard z20let intercooler are the inlet and outlet bores different. reason i ask is the the standard rubber powerpipe hose is 200mm outside bore and the hose that comes along the front bumper is 180mm outside bore. the 200mm outside diameter hose fits straight onto my new cooler, so if the 180mm is different il have to buy a reducer to connect that to the left hand side of my cooler if that makes sense. anyonbe shed any light on this? thanks

its the one off the zlet website, i would have pmd u nick but iv been pestering you all night. when u got your fmic fitted was the inlet pipe a smaller bore than the outlet. my standard power pipe which is 51 mm inside diameter and 200mm outside circumference fits onto my new cooler so i was going to get 51mm hoses to connect on to it. but on the inlet side, the pipe which runs along the front bumper is 180mm outside circumference so im i looks as if im goin to find some sort of reducer from the new intercooler to connect on to the original rubber pipe. any1 understand me or am i talkin b*****s?
