I just recently swapped my VNT-15 for a VNT-17 on my ALH.

The inlet hose fit over the VNT-17 just as it did the VNT-15.

I went downstairs and measured my old VNT-15's inlet right around 1.75" (1.8" to be exact), and I'm almost positive the VNT-15 and VNT-17 inlets are the same size.

They are indeed the same as I recently swapped a 17 into my car. You will love the 17/22.

Too bad. Like a VA? Not much improvement over a 15.
