Dominus Member 57 Member For: 8y 3m 22d Posted 01/12/16 12:31 PM Author Share Posted 01/12/16 12:31 PM I must admit that the pipes do tend to get very hot, and I've been wondering what the effects of that may be. I'm gonna look into a turbo side intake and weigh my options up. Thanks guys! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure there are better ways to lower the intake charge these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The air in the pipes would have heated riiight up. Would probably need some really thick insulation to avoid a 20 minute heat soaking though? All because I don't want to get rid of the stock crossover look. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't tried it yet but I think I should do a gentle cruise up my tuning road to cool it off then pull over and do a run. I guess this won't add power to the car rather than help adjust the timing vs iat or boost vs iat map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbo on the DS, Intake on the PS. Throttle body on the PS and piping on the DS.
