Good point, altho.. These don't have ripples and don't look like the machine bent to me..? They are a smooth flowing bend. 51mm at every point.Quote:

Drivers side was just a silicone elbow, But was very very tight in there. So while it was off and all.
Pass side i had the end modded because of fitting the F28 mount, he made me this up..

But was told that the flow would be impeded by the shape. So a nice bend would be better...
It's not ideal by some margin. Who's that guy with the 600BHP red turbo corsa on MIG? He runs the sort of inlet you'd want. Pretty sure Chip has used a couple in some of his projects too.
Oh right i see, not seen that one before. Guy on mig using a dewymotorsport inlet.
Nic Barnes runs the gtir inlet on his corsa
When you think about how the standard LET / XE inlet flows from the top, it bounces down and across. Upping the flow will only result in a bigger pulse backwards, which is a world away from something properly designed.
Oh right, i know the std manifold isn't the best flowing but never really thought much about it.
Gary Hurn also ran a gtir inlet later on iirc...... Maybe on his build thread If you wanted more info on it etc.
