Think about what you are saying.... The tube connects the same two points together..... It must have the same degree of bend or else it would be sticking up in the air. The bend may be 22.5* at the fore flange and 22.5* at the aft flange but it is still 45* worth of bends....

20+25=45. 22.5+22.5=45. 0 does not equal 45.

Any bend is really off the the intercooler going up approximately 1 inch the next curve is seen on the intake.the formation in the supercharged pipe in the kit doesn’t any bend from the top of the intercooler to maf..the intake mostly eats the curve from the aluminum gadget on the entering and exiting ports what goes up must come down.


Any the intake says.....Finally more air. By the way I no longer can smell my cat burning up. Somethings obviously flowing better.

I saw intake temps reduce up to 10 degrees during acceleration !

17.5. Its higher though, the 3bar map isnt calibrated correctly in the Haltech. it read about 90 KOEO. Should be around 101 in MN at the time of reading.

I thought 3 bars went up to 125 kph and beyond to 145 ish


I have one let me check the specs on it ! Doesn’t the detail much other than max 43.5 psi -40to 260 operational temperature. Able read 10-90%of total manifold pressure

They are, the calibration in the Haltech isn’t correct. I use data from the manufacturer. Next season I’m just going to use the built in 5 bar in the haltech and not worry about the calibrations

By swapping from a metal tube to a plastic tube? You can't be serious....

Its obvious the plastic flattened air bridge forms the air better than the round, aluminum tube which creates more power. Science!
