I'm thinking of trying to capture all this air in a similar fashionDon't get me wrong, the Process West Air box is great, and is more then adequate for 99% of people, especially with the 6" filter and bell mouth, that directs the air to the 4" intake pipe... But let's face it, I've spent so much time refining everything else, why stop there Edited 08/07/15 01:47 AM by Peppy_t92 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genius mate! Have you still got our original design laying around at home?I would Matty, but it's not a VL turbo haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still want to do what I said for your car! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k31th less WHY; more WOT Site Developer 29,072 Member For: 16y 8m 19d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 08/07/15 02:14 AM Share Posted 08/07/15 02:14 AM that air intake is not muffling - I can assure you of that. Proof of this is in the gauge reading 30PSI at the manifold the turbo is certainly not struggling to create the vaccuum suction it needs to draw in enough air to compress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is sweet Fark all circulation going into the air box... We'll soon find out, it's an inexpensive exercise for my next free weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
