Stupid Question about D-Series Intake
 

I'm new to turbo set ups in general but plan on building my A6 or Y8 for an HMT set up. I looked at all the lines and even mapped out a few pictures, but I'm curious as to how to get air into the system. The intercooler just cools the charge but where does the air originally come from? If the turbo is mounted behind the FMIC how do I get air?

through the turbo ::)...im not sure what exactly is puzzling you...the turbo doesnt need to be in front of the car to get air

Re:Stupid Question about D-Series Intake
 

i think he is asking where is the air coming from..(am i right?). there is an intake side of the turbo that sucks in outside air, it's not like you are recycleing your exhaust gases or anything

Re:Stupid Question about D-Series Intake
 

Connect an intake to the side of the turbo instead of the throttle body where you would normally connect it.

Naa, he doesnt need to ask anymore questions i'm helping him build his setup :-P We are going all motor right now (13:1 compression) SOHC and seeing what we can do... i already have my z6 pistons for the turbo setup though... that wont be for a few more months... we already have everything for the engine managment (ghetto dyne or TurboEDIT) havnt figured out with one i want to use.. already got the chips and ordering the eeprom programer today.....


This is going to be funnn..

Yeah this is sort of what I was hinting at, wasn't sure if the IC was going to block all the air flow and if that mattered or not, thanks for the info guys.

And Josh, I'm sort of scared of running that NA set up because do I really want to daily drive on toluline?
