Yes I know. I drive tailpipes from him myself. But the owner has not received the best reputation in my circle of friends in recent months. My buddy waited 2 months for his tailpipes. And the inlet does not fit my intake.

Right, managed to fit the Dbilas hard pipe and forge turbo adaptor to the OEM airbox.
Not as simple as it looked but trial and error wins the day.
You DO NOT need the reducer from the Forge elbow to the hard pipe. That makes it all too long!
So a combination to couplings and connectors gets you where you need to be.
The connector Dbilas supply to connect to the OEM airbox is too tight for my liking so I cut down a Samco coupling to size. This works well!
It all sounds awesome and I can feel a difference in pick up straight away.
Will update with installed pic later.

Okay, so this is Version Beta as I still would like to tidy up the connection at the hardpipe/elbow join as it was thrown together quick and dirty.
Car performs flawlessly as it is but for the sake of completeness it can be neater.

Quick update for my "Hardpipe Fan Club" 
Re-visited the Forge/Dbilas connection (it was chucked together in terrible weather previously) and made it nice and tight now. It was a bit loose for my liking. Also re-orientated the hardpipe slightly as I thought it was too close to engine block.
Turns out the connection must have been a bit too loose as I must have had an air leak. The whoosing noise is now gone (which is a bit of a shame as it sounded just like my old ITG Maxogen lol) as the seal is now definitely nice and tight and performance seems even better.
So, ITG filter in OEM box + Dbilas Hard Pipe + Forge Turbo inlet elbow = Definitely noticable, car pulls much harder.
Power increase - who knows, probably not much but the way the power is now delivered is definitely for the better.
Chuffed it all worked out

Reckon this would fit the itg maxogen filter too?Quick update for my "Hardpipe Fan Club"

Hyundai Veloster N L4-2.0L, F/I Turbo; 2019-2020 , AEM Cold Air Intake System available for the VN and I'm presuming it will also fit the i30N. $380.00 price range, no specifications on their website yet or claims of performance gains. Keep in mind, AEM has a tendency to lean towards inflated hp claims. Has a direct snorkel inlet off the OEM air inlet and heatshield as well.
Considering the silicone turbo inlet connection, it can also be utilized with the Forge Turbo Inlet Pipe.

InJen announced their intake sytem for Veloster N, 1:1 same intake I tested on my car. Their heat shield looks worse than heatshield I developed but when I managed to gain 0,9bhp on dyno with that intake, InJen managed to gain 11whp...
What a wonderful life (or what a wonderful car they had)
And it is how mine looked:

Would this fit the i30n you think?
@r_anderson96 - As you can see, I have i30n and same intake was installed to my car.
I´m not 100% sure about heat shield, but I have all measurements for making custom heat shield:

The same like Turbozentrum Berlin claims about 50-60nm with their intake systemInJen managed to gain 11whp...

All of them (Injen, Forge, Pipercross ect...) are using these magical numbers for marketing. There is nothing new on this. But the main problem for me is that I haven´t seen any feedback from actual buyers, who put their cars on dyno and managed to achieve similar results.
Everybody is just talking about "butt dyno" results.
Yeah but unlike as Injen, Forge or Pipercross, the Turbozentrum guys don't show their product and hide it like a national treasure secret.
I know what is their product - you can buy similar product from Velossa Tech for example
Already bought Velossa Tech. Waiting for delivery. Maybe I will also gain 50nmI know what is their product - you can buy similar product from Velossa Tech for example
Velossa Tech only offers the ram intake snorkel.Already bought Velossa Tech. Waiting for delivery. Maybe I will also gain 50nm
Do they also make an intake?
