View Full Version : Bigger pipe for the turbo?
Anyone know what difference having a bigger breather pipe on the turbo in my 20VT would make?
I am guessing not alot?
Cheers
breather pipe ?
it will let more fumes through :)
Sorry didnt mean breather pipe meant intake pipe!!
:)
Dont ualready hav a bigger inlet pipe monty??
Probably allow more air to be drawn in for less work maybee giving more power but more than anything it will probably make the throttle more responsive. It may also make the turbo noise even louder.
I could be completely wrong here BTW

such intake pipe is usually bigger in diamater and mandrel bent with less restriction to alow air to flow freely, quicker and with less restriction and less friction. Usually increase low-mid range torque improves responsivness and usually gains 5-10bhp on k04 turbo motors and higher boost (chipped) vehicles. Not much gain on a stock vehicle as stock pipe is sufficient
However some1 correct me if im wrong
Is this what you mean?
