Message	But I still assert that there is appreciable pressure drop between atmospheric pressure (air filter) and compressor inlet pressure. I will agree that the flow improvements of switching the pressurized piping will be more drastic than identical changes on the suction side, but that is not to say that the suction side is negligible. Its like sucking a drink through a straw (the drinkers mouth being the compressor). A smaller straw will be harder to drink through than a larger straw of the same geometry. The more drink you want (larger turbos) the larger straw (inlet piping) you need :) ------------------------------------------------------------------ 1992 300ZX NA 5 Sp (Dead) 1990 300ZX NA Auto 2+2 (Dead) 1990 300ZX TT 5 Sp (Building) 2004 G35 Sport 6MT (DD)
