Does anyone know where I can get some 2 3/4" silicone tubing? I need to get a reliable connection between my air filter and turbo intake. West side of Denver is preferred.

Uhh... an entire intake hose made of silicon tubing? I'm pretty sure that would collapse... you'd be boosting along and the engine would suddenly act dead and send the boost gauge into vacuum. It has happened to me when using a rubber section for my intake pipe. Silicon tubing also doesn't like lots of heat... I have a picture at home that illustrates this pretty well. I'll post it when I get home...

Edit: never mind... I thought you were going to make a whole hose out of the stuff. :rofl:

I have some 2.5" stuff that will just barely strech to 2.75". That is a very uncommon size. You can get it; but I doubt anyone locally would have any.

I got my 2.75" silicone couplers from www.atpturbo.com. I also got 2.75" stainless steel bends from them for my CAI. My 2.75" intake tube from the turbo is actually a piece of a $30 CAI that I bought off of ebay. All the stuff I bought from ATP showed up a few days after I ordered it.
