Interesting article I found

I was looking for plenum volume calculators for my turbo motorcycle project, and ran across this:

The guy's strident tone is a little annoying, but he makes some excellent points. It's the best argument I've ever seen for ditching the stock intake crossover tube.

Man what does that say for the stock intercooler. That thing is the most unconductive to flow thing I have ever seen.

Ditching the cobra ell may or may not be a good idea IMHO because the design is quite a bit different than what the article addresses. My problem is what do I replace it with? I'm looking at changing turbos, leaving, possibly, even less room. A nice smooth long radius ell would be great but will it fit?

Great article which, in principal, I fully agree with. Anytime you can improve the airflow into turbo you're gaining free HP.

Thanks for the link.

The Cobra is not a bad design. You guys can send me your Cobra elbows The factory orange flex hose is mainly bad because of the accordian bellows,bad for airflow.

You can also relate that aticle to cylinder head flow,esp the short turn radious,no sharp bends,blending in the bowl areas after the valve/throat cutter has left a sharp edge/s.
