Message	And you'd have to be going something like 120+mph to have any effect of ambient air pushing harder than the turbos can suck. Someone did a calculation, I don't feel like redoing it. And the bends, if just for mocking up and fitting, are fine. For a finished product, they'd be terrible. The increase of cross sectional area would be very detrimental to flow.
