Why is SKunk2 developing composite intake manifolds and fuel rails to reduce intake temps? The air that travels past the intake manifold goes through the TB first and is being "heated" by coolant before it reaches the engine. Reducing heat at the TB is just as important as anywhere after. Any turbo owner who ever used a intercooler knows what im talking about here. Just because a mod is Free dont spank it before you try it..
Finally, somebody with some REAL, factual, input to this subject. I also concurr with all information stated above.
The TB gasket that everone is buying is worthless without the bypass mod. The laws of thermodynamics cannot be altered by some sale hype.
