why do you need 2 tps's? your accelerator cable wont function any different, you run it off either TB, as for AFM it'll go in its normal spot i'm guessing, and flange up to larger piping which splits to each TB

As far as removing the mesh goes, i've got an extra lot of piping that goes back to the TB, including the plug etc. If it screws up at all, could i just put the original one back in with no troubles???

nu piping? not a bad idea, better than the ribbed piping which does disturb flow a fair bit, as long as you dont cut anything its gonna go bak 4 sure, but im not sure exactly how ur doing it so cant really say

And i run 215s.... you sure your not talking about in the wet?
