My Diy Fi Intake Takes Shape.

I just looked back at this whole thread. No completion pics?

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH ME?

I was staring that those pictures for a good minute trying to figure out what the silver, tube-looking things were. First I thought they went to the fuel rails. Then I thought maybe they are thermocouples for temps in each intake port, but then realized there would be absolutely no reason to do that. Finally I remembered you mentioning that you were going to put decorative fins on the top. I need some sleep. The intake looks great. Hopefully I'm not the only one that had their mind blown by those fins of yours.

What? You haven't been paying attention have you?

This is a turbo motor. I have the single hand-idly strangest looking turbo manifold of life.

That's pretty sick looking...

How much power are you expecting that thing to make?

The power goals are modest, but realistic I think.

400 WHP @ 5500RPM, 550 RWTQ @ 2600RPM @ 16PSI

Thats a badass intake dude.

Talk about hair trigger throttle at 2600rpm

That there is very near PD blower description right there. My guess is that if your torque stays with what you have listed, that your HP will be notably higher. It appears that the blower turbo you're going for, spins up quickly and tops out just as fast. I just think that all the velocity that thing will be creating might press HP up a bit.
