(New member) turbo/airfilter/inlet hose problem
So first off, glad to be on here.
I have a 2008 MC, i blew the turbo a little over a month ago. Sad day. Bought a refurbished JCW turbo as a replacement. Bought a inlet tube from Alta Performance like i did for my stock turbo... Problem is.... The pipe is too small. It measures at 45-46mm. The turbo measures at 49-50mm. So i'm not sure what happened or if minimania sent me the wrong turbo(everything else hooked up fine) so any ideas for a set up?
I was thinking about running a small air filter on the hose that comes off the valve cover and running the MAF and an air fliter off the turbo. Maybe with some random piping. Lol. Any ideas help. Trying to get finished up tomorrow. Thanks!

As you have discovered the inlet to the JCW turbo is larger than the stock S turbo. You need to get the JCW intake tube.
Here's a link to the stock JCW intake (Alta does make one, looks like you ordered the wrong one):

Did you replace the turbo oil feel line when installing the new turbo?
