Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!

Topmount manifolds are also usually horribly laggy.

You have to run a filter, they don't hurt power. It's going to suck in every piece of dirt in that engine bay. Your turbo will be destroyed and motor full of dirt in no time. Right behind the radiator is also a terrible place to suck in air, you should try to run a pipe(with a filter on the end of it) down into a fender well or atleast behind one of the headlights and pull the headlight at the track. 80 degree air is much better than 120 degree+ air.
