I chopped the metal water pipe in front of the TIP a while back, it allowed me to fit a full 3" inlet right down to the turbo.

Silicone 90-degree bend to a hose - right out of the way now and it has never leaked.
Alright rob
Im Currently Looking at doing the 3'' Tip,But moving the hardpipe water pipe out the way isnt a problem But what about the Linkages.
As my current 2.5 one ''Just Misses the linkages...Any pics of the tip would be great
