Disclaimer: Again just speculation no actual data or testing has been done to prove/disprove the above
I understand a radiused entry should allow a smoother flow for air entering the runners, but I have yet to see this proven on our Forced Induction platforms. Matter of fact I believe Al from dynoflash did a back to back test on his evo and found that it made no difference during his test. Either way, the one I'm building for my car will use a smooth radiused entry machined into the flange

Scheides, I will read that thread. It will take awhile though with the awesom Spanish internet
