You mean W2W's engine....

I was worried about pressure drop due to the 90 degree flow change. Their engineer says "no worries". APS uses that type design and the tangent inlet design....what's your opinion between the two? TIA.

I have no doubt my car on high boost running on 18 in drag radials will go high tens with a very high mph like a Supra.
On a good tire/wheel combo I think I should be able to click off a high 9 which will be perfect.
if this kit does what it promises, (800+ rwhp) I should have no problem.

I agree with the twin endtank design as shown in the picture.
But, do you prefer the inlet as shown in the 350z endtank (180 degrees) pic or the inlet in the C5 endtank (90 degrees). In theory the 90 degree inlet to the endtank creates a turbulent flow that makes the distribution across the core better. Agree or disagree?

The reality of intercooler excellence in terms of performance equals:
-Largest intercooler surface area possible
-Optimal intercooler internal passage volume
-Lowest possible pressure drop
-Highest possible intercooler core efficiency
-Matched to the turbocharger air delivery in lb/min
In other words the greatest possible charge air temperature reduction with -the lowest possible pressure loss at the rated flow of the turbocharger.

Go here so we can keep Peter's thread on track.
Can't wait to see your set-up Peter. It's going to be a killer option for the fbods.

Thanks,
