Question Wider induction?

Whats the best way to get more air in to the system? Can you simply buy a so called "big maf" pipe? As ultimately it will still go down to the same size by the time it gets to the turbo (unless its a 3" inlet)

Is that literally all you have to do?

What i have at the mo is standard pipe bore (78mm i believe) with a large filter that also have a 78mm inlet....

Should i just stick with that? Would the only real difference perhaps be spool characteristics?

the big maf pipe is only called that because it has a 3" end to fit on bigger inlets !! if you are refering to the perrin inlet

Take care as some turbo's don't like too big an induction pipe, as advised by several on my Engine thread a year ago (turbo 'hunts' at certain speeds)

thast fine, ill keep it as is, i was just unsure as to how the filter with a relatively thick neck could flow a good power....but then if its all got to go down to that diameter anyway then it much do

The turbo is only a VF22 hybrid so not too big, but on a 2.5
