I am not 100% sure but I do know the system is producing 6lb of boost at the throttle body. So I would assume that if there is a pressure loss the turbos are producing enough to ensure the boost at the engine is correct.

Hey Gary,

I got the dope on that one and it has a term that evades me. But basically your compressing all the air from the TT to the throttle body. The more volume in tubes, IC, etc the longer it takes to compress and get the pressure where you want it. in short, more lag. Weather its noticeable or not, I guess it depends.

(Think of blowing a bike tire up to 40 psi compared to blowing up a car tire to the same 40 psi, car tire more volume, more time to get there.)

Regards, PK
