Does anyone know if they sell a 60mm Vent pod??

I am looking to put a Turbosmart Eboost2 in my driver side vent pod, just wondering if I would have to fab it up myself???

It does not look too difficult to make...

Thanks for the help!

Its abouta third of inch in over all diameter larger so 4mm or 1/6 inch all the way around i will look at my pod when i get home tommorow and see how much room there is to widen. I might just cut the inside retaining plastic out and use 4 set screws drilled from the outside to center it in the pod so the vent can still put out air.

The inside diameter is 51mm
and the ouside diamter is 2.8 inches or roughly 71mm so there is plenty of room to modify it to fit a 60mm eboost2.

Looking at it you would just need to cut out the inner ring and shave down the tabs slightly and it should fit in there nicely and maybe one or 2 set screws from the outside to make sure it doesnt move thats what i plan to do

Thanks for the pictures man!!!

Hmm I think I would be more cost effective just to make my own being as I would have to shave so much off the roush vent pod already...

The outside ring still has the mounting tabs to mount it right into the vent. And these pods go for $25. That way the pod is out and easy to work on and fit the eb2 bc in and then just pop it in the car, thats my plan.
