OK, wee twuck is 2.9 L Turbo Deisel Intercooled, running 12 psi boost. was 10 PSI , but once it was run-in, (bought it new) we cranked it up, on the advice of the distibutor's Service agent.

I might try him as well, looking for some one to put a couple of bends in some 2 1/2 tube for my snorkel project.

Visited Lee today and by the look of it he does good work with exhausts but tight bends as in for snorkles are a no go.

You need to buy a "donut" which is a very tight circle of pipe from which you cut segments to get the bend you require. Exhaust shops should have them.

Turns out to be a bit more involved for bends than planned, for a tidy pipe with the bends where they would look best rather than compromising to make easy bends fit is going to cost a little bit more but worth it I think.
My whole project should come in under $175.00.

Awesome, cheers Fitzy, I will ring Falsgraves today to see if the have one, looks like the one Autobend have on file is going to need modifying as they have made one for someone who has cut the inlet hole in a different place to where I am going to.
