Does pipe from the turbo to the intercooler and finally to the TB affect how much turbo lag. What would be the optimal size pipe for a 5sfte with a ct26 twin entry running about 8 or 9 psi?
I was thinking 2 would 2.5 inch be to big? also is it better to use alluminum or mild steel? I figure alu cus its lighter, but how does it conduct heat? This post has been edited by urbandork: Mar 4, 2005 - 5:28 AM |
