They'll look great. But keep in mind standardized flow tests use relatively low pressures of air at low volumes and gives you a "corrected" number. Fortunately we don't drive our TT's on a "bench" and most of us look for real world "response"....a contradiction in terms for any turbo induced car. Even the stock ported manifolds (just 3 times larger than my lawnmower muffler) can make 400 plus horsepower on a dyno, but at what sacrifice for those of us who like instantaneous torque and "G" forces. An ideal "flow" test would also: *Test the entire manifold, pressurizing all 3 ports at one time
*Represent real world pressures and volumes, and
*Would measure flow at the turbine housing However measured, I'm hoping my fresh design with a large, smooth radius will prove itself as well on the street as in the laboratory. Thanks,
