Yeah, kinda forgot the 3B and only thought about the ABY as an AAN derivative modified for the S2 bodyshell.
So, that massive pipework in the S2 is actually a relic dating back to the lack of space in the RHD 200q? And when introducing the 3B in the typ89 the engineers just left the inlet piping as is instead of designing a new one that would have lower production costs and better flow- and thermal characteristics?
I'm not arguing the benefits of the Wagner-style IM. Actually, I have always been annoyed by the extensive pipework in the stock engine. Long, unshielded pipes running next to the engine block is not an optimal solution. Just wondering if there are some disadvantages with the Wagner-design that we are overlooking when blinded by the power gains from it
