SV: Pictures of newly installed 16V turbo system.

["Roland Johansson" <scirocco@mail.bip.net>]

Hello

<Bradley,  by looking at the photos, it seems that you could fit a manifold with <the throttle body on the other side and drastically reduce turbo lag, by <decreasing the distance the air has to flow to reach the intake.  Does this make <sense? 

Not in real world. Turbo lag has almost nothing to do with the length or volume of intercooler and tubing, it has 95% to do with the turbo charger dimension. But the turbo lag of old 80's Saab and Volvo turbos are light years away from the respons you get from the newer style of turbos in use now.
