turbo'd N/A intake tube
I am sure this has been covered but i cant seem to find anything on it. I am turbocharging my 86 GXL. I have most of it figured out with a lot of help from Aaroncake's writeup. (Aaron, you are my hero) the only trouble I have run into is attaching the tube from the intercooler to the intake i have considered making a "strawberry" as Aaron did but didnt Greddy make an adapter specifically for this? Ive been searching for it and cant find it anywhere. can anyone shed some light on this situation?

You can modify a TII air horn if you can weld aluminum.
The strawberry works well, but just make sure to smooth the transition much more then I did. Use a conical tubing reducer instead of just welding a straight piece of tubing to it.
Some people just use the plastic NA intake elbow. Even some TII owners do that when installing a front mount.

using N/A intake
I managed to locate the greddy units on Ebay but the one for the FC looks like it has a different bolt pattern. would I use the one listed for the FD? It looks like a simmilar bolt pattern to the FC N/A intake tube.
No access to tig welder... and I suck at welding lol. I could make the strawberry but it would be real ugly.
