No matter what you say, it will help with airflow balancing. If for some reason one turbo is not pushing enough air, the less air in the cylinders on one bank will in turn drive there corresponding turbo slower, to aid in balancing. There is no way you, or anyone can argue it. However, i do not believe that was Nissans design intent, and ive even stated it before.

The intent was intake restriction reduction. Had they designed the intake to feed the same bank of cylinders, it would have had to make a significant bend in the lower intake, taken up more space, and caused more turbulence, and less power. FMIC's, with the exception of a few, reverse the balancing effect. As long as your car is running fine and wastegates are set equally, it shouldnt effect much at all, other than heating the air being sucked into your intake filter/s, the air meant to cool your AC condensor, oil cooler, and radiator. Z32's do not fair well to heat. Theres also a theory that states, as the exhaust is being pushed out of one side, it is spinning the turbine, and feeding the other side, as the cylinder is drawing air in. Measurable difference? No idea...sound theory though.
