Turbo Air Guide
Re:Turbo Air Guide
I'm gonna have to agree with gunracer on this. It would be really easy to copy and those dyno numbers seem doubtful. Although, that truck is pretty done out. I may go and find some honey comb stuff tonight and build my own and let yall know what it does. I've got a little extra money to play with. I'm also installing the Holley Black tonight and reinstalling the Comp - the pump wire. So we'll see if I get around to it. To me, it would seem to add a little restriction to the air inlet. Who knows.

Greetings,<br> Just make sure that what ever you create yourself can not get injested in the turbine. Also keep in mind the Ford plumbing is all over the place. I would like to see some numbers with the Cummins engines.<br>Jeff

Re:Turbo Air Guide
I agree with the Green Giant. If that puppy comes apart, you can kiss that $600 turbo bye bye, plus what ever else all that metal takes out on it's way into the engine.
<br><br>Having spent most of my life working on Jet engines, which are really just giant compressors, and thats all the turbo is, I question the wisdom of anything that you actually put into the intake. For two reasons. 1st, if it comes apart your F***ed. Second, the way to straighten out incoming air is not to attach it to the turbine wheel. Rather you extend the intake via some form of fixed tube and through the shape of this modified tube you staighten the flow of air.<br><br>Now I aint no engineer. Just my 2 centovous ;D<br><br>
