The piping to your throttle body looks tiny... what size is it? Looks the right size for each single turbo, but it should seriously be bigger from IC to throttle body.
And is that a right angle join from one turbo before the intercooler? If it is, that is gonna have some really sh*tty gas flow properties...

Can ya get a better photo of the piping where the pipes meet, the actual joint? Don't wanna jump the gun so excuse what I said before until I see the actual join.nvr2low wrote: what ya mean mate. The join before the intercooler for the 2 turbos is a why join mate. And the pipe is 2.5 to the TB
Is it a smooth merging joint? Or is it a right angle join (as in the air flow crashing into the other air flow stream)?
Image a would be ideal, the air flows merge and continue on their way, not a lot of turbulence created.
Image b is not so ideal, the air would crash into the other turbo's stream and create a sh*t load of turbulence. I believe it is the same principle as an exhaust system, mandrel bending obviously speeds up gas flow, but tight press bends slow the gases down.
Right angle joins are no better than standard (I found that out when I had mine flow tested), see below:
I couldn't fit in the smooth join that I wanted with my configuration, what you need is something fabricated like this (this is my intake, what is planned with yours? Don't use the standard VR4 one, it is horribly restricted):
Smooth joins...
Larger piping diameter would lessen the impact, but yours doesn't look overly large. In my case, if I got rid of that sh*tty right angle join I believe I could get maybe 1-2% more out of the engine...
I am not getting at you mate, all I am saying is to not make the same mistake I did

FTE hey mate i found a better pic of that y pipe join mate and also got a pic of were the maf and podfilter sit. AND YES I KEPT THE BATTERY IN THE BONNETT YAY. i have also bought a oil catch can for it. This is for were the oil line goes from the side of the motor back into the airintake.

Good sh*t bro, it looks good, more twists than I would like, but will work a charm... don't go through any big puddles though
Keep the progress reports coming

+1 Totally agree but I guess you'll see once it's all done. That bend is pretty awkard as well. Was there nothing better they could do? If possible, fork out the cash for a haltech or equiv and change to a map set up like bennoz is saying. Progress is progress though mate, so good sh*t it's getting done.I8A4RE wrote:Well its going to be interesting, I read that MAF's shouldnt sit verticle like that. So let me know how she runs.
Also that is very very scary that your running the pod filter low down like that.

guess what guys I might gt my car back 2morow or friday just putting the last touches on it today.
I was suprised to find them working hard at it today to try and get it finished.
Hose power did my power steering line looks tops. Wiring loom is in the car just have to plug it all in.
I am so nervous already I want it back 2morow so bad.

Just don't let them rush it, I know what it's like though. It's like having a wad of cash in your wallet that isn't for anything, just burns a hole there...
You gunna love it (I have said it many times haha). Hope all goes well, we want vids of it starting
