Re: new itb turbo setup build pics
hmm, not really digging the plenum, You'd think you would want the velocity stacks directly at the bottom of the plenum, so the transition would be smooth?
I'm just curious because I've noticed full-race is doing a similar design on their custom intake manifold with raised stacks inside the plenum.
Vs something a bit more common inside the plenum
Looks good though =)

looks good, but i agree with jeff about the velocity stack sticking out interrupting the flow. also, by closing in itb's, you're really doing nothing more than converting them back to a regular intake mani

not really, when boosting, it allows each TB to get a more even flow off air,
rather than the runner closest to the single TB getting better flow than the last.
i belive some nissan bluebirds came like that...ITB w/ turbo.

We also made a tapered shaped airbox to further enhance flow distribution between the different runners.
