Default Two intakes for turbo build. Which is better??
Doing 6.0 iron block with 80mm turbo. Have two intakes and can't decide which one to use. One is high ram style by TPS i believe and other
is Typhoon. Both have 96mm tb opening. I have 102mm t body already. Thanks

Sell them both and buy an ls6/stock tb. Use profit for other turbo build goodies.

Do not use that TSP ebay intake with boost. If you do a little digging you can find pictures where they blow apart under boost.

Ah i mixed up letters. Yes it's TSP. Think I've decided on truck setup since it's cheap and proven from builds on here. Thanks
