Imagine breathing out of a thin straw, you can still breathe, but its harder, in this case its making the turbo's work harder and in turn producing more heat.
Theres some old threads from 08-09 about WGDC with different intakes. It was a common discussion back in the day, not so much anymore.
Edit- guys back in the day used to run with the top of the stock intake box removed, IIRC they noticed improved performance. |
Nice analogy. Quick question... Isn't the bottleneck in those tiny thin tubes that actually connect to the turbos? And not the intake? In my opinion, the stock box can provide more than enough air flow to those tiny connecting tubes to reach capacity. Is intake air flow directly related to WGDC? I'm sure there are other factors. And has any dci been proven to decrease WGDC? And then has deceased WGDC been proven to increase turbo or engine longevity?
