boost often overcomes down the line flow issues quite well Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

thats some thing i dont get once a plenum is filled with compressed air is flow really an issue when it is getting forced'?

Well the smoother and more laminar the flow the less work the compressor has to do but when you are pushing sizable pressure anyway then the differential is reduced. ie. Most of the flow is within the centre of the air stream and irregularities are not as important when you have boost to spare.

still dont know the figures though or is it to much of an open question ? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

TIA mate if u read over the thread again ! im asking what stock inlet ports on the cylinder head flow ! he answered the question ! we didnt ask for flow figures of TB, or VLT inlet manifold ! we are talking about the inlet ports on a standard vlt SOHC cylinder head !
