| optimize power production in the higher revs. The biggest drain on high-flowing setups are those long runners in the OEM plenum that actually choke the induction at a peak around the 6500RPM band. The theoretical downside to shorter runners is that it will be the inverse of this - it will breathe very well in the higher revs but at the cost of low-mid range RPM response. But there are some other thoughts with respect to that. With a stock turbo setup, if you will, those turbos already spool up hella quick so they will get into boost at lower revs. This property will be able to offset the detriment of the shorter runners and result in a configuration that still makes more bottom-mid torque than larger turbo setups, a little less than stock turbos with OEM plenum, but be able to make more power in the higher revs with the stock turbos and this new plenum design. Mid-sized turbo upgrades will still outperform in low-midrange torque vs large turbo configurations but really start to sing in the higher revs compared to themselves with an OEM plenum. Larger frame turbos will hurt the most down low, however, since these higher-flowing snails can move air very efficiently into the 6500-8000RPM range, once you get them singing in the revs, they will outperform themselves by a healthy margin when compared to an OEM plenum. Guys with stock turbos and all the breather mods may choose to go with this intake to trade some of that low-midrange torque off for higher RPM horsepower. This plenum, on the current highest-horsepower stock turbo setup, would break its own record by notable margin.... This new design is not a be-all-end-all product. It simply adds just another configuration option for any type of setup. I will be testing this on a number of different setups from stock turbos, midrange turbos, larger frame turbos, and then Gozzirra sized setups. Should be fun to see. :)
