    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.

    Don't know any one that has tho.... Or don't remember seeing it done.

    What was wrong with the old bends on the turbo, or shall I say angles? do you want better flow?

    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.

    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.
