Oh yea, in the Turbo Buick world, we call that the inlet bell. Anyway, yea it comes stock on our car. I have a couple laying around if they are the right size if you need one.

Buy a GT/TE series turbo and you won't need that. There are two common street turbos for GN's that are used one is a TA-49 and the other is a TE-44. They have the same compressor housing size and same wheel size but the TE-44 does not have the inlet bell that narrows down. It is capable of flowing like 40% more air.
