"The exhaust gases exit the turbine wheel thru a small tube (less than 2 inches ID) for about a feet." Or did you mean a few inches? The pipe is only less than 2" diameter for a few inches after the flange. The way I understood it, the air from the wastegate would interfere with the air from the exhaust wheel when they met right away. But Greg's split flange design allows the each seperate flow to "establish" (for lack of a better word) itself first, and then flow together creating that turbulant flow. Like Toso Adam A. said, the pipes were dyno tested on Seb's car I believe, and the results were very favorable. I'll be getting the split flange pipes, as least for as long as I have my stock turbos, which should be for a good while more.
BTW, figure out your misfiring issue yet? Try re-gapping your plugs?

However, ask any car enthusiast to plot the same route and it is never as simple as connecting the two dots with a straight edge. We hunt for spaghetti-noodle paths with the most twists and turns. Never mind how fast we need to reach our destination. Yes a car's ability to accelerate quickly and reach a blistering top speed are desireable. But it is the vehicle's handling dynamics, it's ability to drive swiftly through various corners, that make for a complete and exhilerating driving experience." -Patrick Hong, R&T June '02- |
