    Posted: 09 June 2010 at 4:38am
I Just got the cyclone feeder i ordered from tippmannparts.com for my custom pro. aparrently the banjo fitting that fits into the powertube is not a part of the cyclone upgrade pkg (Im PSSED).
 
I was just wondering if the banjo that fits on an a-5 , or the banjo from the response trigger (not tho one in the powertube) will work to hook up my cyclone?
 
Also i ordered the X7 style cyclone feed, Does it have a 1/16 or 1/8 fitting?     Is it worth upgrading to a 1/8 fitting??
 
and i know this is a bit off topic but how many bps will the stock gravity feed hopper feed?im using a vl velocity X-board and am wondering if i should just go stock.

If you ordered a Cyclone kit for the X7, it did not come with the fittings most likely because it is sold as a replacement, not an upgrade. So theres no reason to be pissed if you ordered the wrong item. They assume you are doing so as a replacement for a broken cyclone, not as a drop in for a 98. It's why it's cheaper. You may also find that it does not include the adaptor to fit the 98 feed port. Cyclone banjo fittings that fit into the powertube will fit all Tippmann powertubes that are Cyclone ready. I'm unsure if the X7 has 1/8 or 1/16 lines, but I would assume the former due to its increased bps capability over the standard A5 or 98 models.

Stock gravity feeds are not capable of more than 5-6bps max.

the stock banjo fittings on the a5 and x7 are 1/16, you can upgrade to the 1/8 fittings if you like. i upgraded the ones on both my a5's and my x7...no cyclone problems for me.
