yes on the bottom port. i thought that putting that small of a pipe would cause more backpressure and more velosity and heat. i have wrapped the exhaust wouldn't that help. i am grasping at straws here.

thanks for the info.

yes. making the pipe smaller will increase the velocity but its not going to do as much as you want it to do. your talking about creating enough flow to eliminate 2000-3000 rpm of lag in first gear. the smaller inlet pipe is just not going to do that. wrapping it will help but again its not going to make that much of a difference. im assuming the kit is designed for the corvette so with those turbos your not going to get any spool in first gear no matter what you do. in my opinion, boosting in first gear is rather useless anyway as its just going to burn up the tires. second gear spool up is a lot better. i wouldnt change a thing and just enjoy it. wish i had my corvette so i could turbo it. im so damn jelous. what did the kit come with as far as tuning?

gharris4000 11-03-2011 03:50 PM

nothing. i had to build everything. even an accell dfi system. all i got with the kit that i could use was the turbos and wastegates everything else i made.i will try to post some pics.

do you think it will help at all with boost with the smaller pipe? i am not neccesarily lokking for boost in first gear. it is that i only get about 2-3 lbs of boost in second and about 5-6 in third gear. will that help some.

it may help a little but not much. you may want to try some better flowing headers. that definitely may help quite a bit.

gharris4000 11-04-2011 08:42 AM

i have a set of hooker full length headers already. there has to be something i can do to improve boost a little more.

i think your at the maximum flow your going to get without choking out the engine with a smaller exhaust

gharris4000 11-04-2011 01:51 PM

how come on the c6 corvettes remote turbo system they dont have any problems with boost.

gharris4000 11-04-2011 01:52 PM

is there anything at all you can think of that would help me?
