Unusual Inlet Manifold

[gnutz2]

The long runners will be increasing the torque of the engine and I dare say the turbo will be on boost quicker. A trick most manufacturers use on their small petrol engines to give them some low end grunt (at a cost to top end power of course)

Like others have said it looks wrong but it seems to work.

I can see the logic on an NA engine

There's an old thread about that twin turbo

It did 540 HP and used to have 2 Audi 200 turbo K26 turbochargers.

Yeah i'm finding some old stuff in 2004

No. You don't apply the rules of NA engine tuning to Turbocharged tuning. Pulse tuning is far less effective on our motors. I am looking forward to Marcos comments in Mik's recent post on topics of discussion! It sounds like he has several essays to write on the subject!

I posted them on MG. I found them on a Hungarian audi site.
I really like it, not because it better then forward facing IM, but cos i like the way how they could think different.
