Hey Turbotom,

Are you having traction difficulties or did you happen to park next to an LS1 that just started up? Oil and tyre smoke is a very similar colour!

Yes, one smells like burning rubber, the other smells like an LS1 on startup!

now I understand why none of you can beat any ls1's cause your all kids and dont know enough about your own engines looks like its up to me to make a fast xr6t

Mate, we may be "kids at heart", but I assure you, we are not (all) kids. :innocent:

I'm sure you'd be absolutely amazed at the depth of mechanical knowledge luking on this site. Not sure why you haven't got the answer you're after yet, but if it's out there, rest assured, they will find it. :nod:

Loosen up and enjoy life my friend. :thumbsup:

Perhaps it was the wording of your question. First thing I thought was "wtf is an airflow?" and second being "how the Fck would I take a picture of one?" :thumbsup:

What exactly are you after a picture of? The air inlet pipework? The plumbing for the turbo?

everything all the piping from the air intake to the intercooler to the turbo I want something that shows the whole system

I think we've all had enough laughs now so its time to get serial! :lol:

As for a REAL answer to your question... this might help you.

WARNING: No fat-o-grams, hot-dogs or burning LS1's at this site :thumbsup:

I’ll now show you why the stock inlet design is so inefficient.

See the following picture.

Air enters at the air box (not included) traveling alongside the inlet plenum, then over the top of the rear of the motor, then down to the turbo.
