the custom or aftermarket plenium has the advantage that the air does not have to travel as far... meggala[/quote:1e43e4905c]
So meggala, that means that all this piping going around the engine (below) will be considerably shortened therefore air intake will be more efficient. This also means that the throttle body has to be moved. What else has to be moved along with it?
With a custom plenum on a GTS25T would the runners also be shortened or would you keep the factory ones? In other words, does the plenum unbolt from the runners or do you have to get these made as well?
The flow of air in a turbocharged car is as follows. (as far as I can tell)
Air Filter-plumbing-Turbo-plumbing-intercooler-plumbing-Throttle Body-Plenum Chamber-Intake Runners
Is this correct?
Can someone finish this to the point of muffler?
If I'm asking for too much tell me to shut up.

Hey guys.
For the time being having eight forums is plenty and as they cover everything they'll serve well. Later on as user base grows you might want to consider forums like Suspension, Security, Styling, Meets etc. I guess you'd be a better judge at this than me.
How come there isn't a user cp as in SDU? Is this due to the software or something? It would be nice to have that along with subscription to threads so you don't have to keep checking them. I know there is an e-mail subscription but an SDU type one would be nice. The SDU one uses vBulettin and this uses phpbb. Right. :? I presume this is why there are differences.
Can you tell that I don't know much about this stuff? he he :mrgreen:

Hey Prank,
The timezones are a bit screwed up. It looks like it's 9 hours back. I don't know if this is a stuff up on my end but in my profile the timezone is set to the Sydney one so you might want to check this out.
Also, can you explain to me step by step how to upload my avatar. I'm having a bit of a problem getting that done. It's on my local drive.
Cheers.

I'm in the deep end when it comes to lots of things regarding this brilliant invention called a car. So take it easy with me and explain things like you would to an ametuer. Although don't hold anything back as I want to learn as much as I can.
I've heard that a professional custom built plenum can yield increases in performance in a n/a car simmilar to those of bolting on a turbo. My source said that this would not happen all the time but it does happen. If this is the case, how would a custom built plenum increase the performance of a turbo. Is this a common mod? How much would it roughly cost? etc etc
I just want to pick your brains on everything that has to do with it. How does it work, what parts are directly related to its performance or lack of it.
You get my drift.
What's up with SDU

What is going on with the forums on SDU?
Prank, meggala, any news on forming an Aus chapter of SDU?
Damn there's alot of tension on those forums at the moment. It's almost comical. That's one of the bad things about communicating through written messages. Some people tend to take it the wrong way and before you know it you have a mess on your hands. People need to chill more. :mrgreen:
