Message	Research the causes of turbo lag and you'll understand why you want to keep the turbo as close to the exhaust manifold as possible with the shortest length of intake piping possible. Running an extra 6-7 feet of exhaust and intake piping is a horrific idea if you don't have the displacement to move enough air to spool it quickly. "When you say this, will you be surprised if your arguments seem to move about instead of staying put? And will you accuse me of being Daedalus who makes them move, though you are yourself much more skillful than Daedalus and make them go around in a circle? Or do you not realize that our argument has moved around and come again to the same place? [...] Or do you not remember?" - Socrates
