Has anyone installed the ChargeSpeed Duct?

It looks kind of strange at the openings but it could be due to the fact that its white gel coated so it looks smaller. Just wondering what it would look like installed.

Suprahero, has a similar one installed.

Badass mod, Jay, where's the pics at ???

yeah I havent seen any good pictures.
The jpec one similarly looks kinda strange too like the holes are big but the surrounding material looks thin.

My buddy with the silver mk3 has that same duct installed on his. Check the pics in the link I posted to my original thread.

SuprA70, his looks really nice! I always thought it was a genuine duct from Toyota. So his is the chargespeed or jspec?

It's the Chargespeed duct.

Ok thanks.
If what we discussed doesnt go through before I send the car to paint, I think I will get this one. Do you know if any modifications had to be done to install it (besides cutting the bumper support) like using fiberglass kittyhair to get it to fit right? Or does it conform to the contour of the bulper right out of the box?

Here is a picture of mine that I got from Shine Automotive. I know it looks grey, but it's blue metallic. Sorry about the horrible picture............

I had to install mine from the back because the bumper is contoured or curved and the turbo a duct is almost dead straight. You may not like it mounted from the back like mine, but I think it would have looked worse the other way. Good luck with yours.


:momaru: ...............You said mounted from the back.................:biglaugh:

You did the right thing with that bumper.
I love seeing the outer rim of the duct but in your case it would look bad it being flat.

holy shit! that turned out great! i'm glad you were able to "overcome" (so to speak) the non-contour issue.

did you do it yourself, or did you have it done?

can't wait to see installed pics.

you could always build a rim/ridge of fiberglass if you really missed it, but why destroy something that looks perfect?

Thanks. A friend of mine owns a body shop. He's the one that painted my car for me as well. I've got to do some vinyl siding on his house now to help him out. I'm glad you guys like it as much as I do...............lol

See sig, had it done by a local guy...he smoothed out the edges really well!

There are turbo A ducts out there that are contoured to fit the bumper perfectly. They cost a little more, but well worth skipping all the hassle to make the flat ones fit.

Thanks alot. Some people like it and some prefer the lip around it. I like it like it is, but I really have no choice since it's already done.................:biglaugh:
