As per the topic.

Around $50 on TM and that seems too steep for something so simple. I dont really was a polished or shiny look which i am guessing more is paid for that?

Do places like Ullrich do these? Where in Auckland is good?

Cheers!

Yes ulrich sell this stuff pal, pretty pricey though when i went to buy my last 90deg ally bend.

Ullrich are really pricey for that sort of thing. More like U'llNotBeRich

I bought my stuff from this guy - pretty good prices:

Oh wait - you want 4"! Doesn't look like he does it - might pay to ask though?

What's it for, dare I ask?

probably wont get much cheaper than $50 tbh unless you find some in someones scrap bin.

in guessing its for a gt series turbo inlet

Ok cheers . Might go tomorrow if i have some time

QikStarlie is right. It's for a inlet for the turbo. I could go straight of the turbo with the filter but i guess it would be better to get it away from that area as much as possible.

I thought $50 was reasonable for a fairly large alloy bend TBH

I dont know of anyone that can bend 4" alloy... Nicely,
most 4" dies for steel and stainless wont work with alloy and leave a ugly bend

Have you tried sta?

I dont know. Seems stupidly priced i thought. surely without the bling polished finish it should/could be cheaper

No i havent, but will do! Churs!

I dont think its to badly priced, retail on 3" bends is normally around $30

I know someone like that stocks alloy bends, not sure if they go to 4" or not

Truck suppliers have 5" but not normally 4, if they did id expect prices over $100

Cheers Si.

I think i will just go with the cheaper option in Hamilton but their shipping is $12 which i shouldnt support!

Anyway they are still cheaper than cheap chinese.
