any chance of port photos?????

I sent it without photoing it.

I can get specialised to take some before they start playing with them after the flow them if they are going to tidy them up if you like.

Why is that?

Oh nice,

so you changed to the front entry purely for packaging?

Did you port the head at all? or measure head flow?

Forward facing plenum was purely for cosmetic reason as I just wanted to tidy up the engine bay when I went the single option.

Short story, I went single turbo in 2003 and the guy tuning it at the time blew two head gaskets on me and put a hole in a piston for me, so I went threw 3 motors pretty quickly, basically the guy couldn't tune a push bike. It was always number 6 that went so after some hunting around I was told cylinders 1& 6 ran leaner than the others, hence why I power ported the inlet to try and even up the flow to all the cylinders.

This is when I threw the forged pistons etc in it, haven't got flow rates for the head as it just got a tidy up didn't get extensively ported.

Who did the tune? Always good to know who to stay away from

The shop in question closed down a couple of months after all of this happened, 3 engines weren't the the only problem i had with these amateurs, my newly chromed front bumper and newly painted front apron were hacked to bits also, and i mean literally cut up to fit an intercooler at the time, it was harendous.

ouch. but yeah bodgy ****s like that eventually get what's coming to them

Thats just fucked mate. should never cut a car without consent.

I thought going front facing would fuck the flows completely, but yours is just a bit short on 1 and 2, which would probably be fixed by moving the throttle body away from the plenum a couple of inches.

I will ring specialised and get his thoughts. would be a much better setup if I could run front facing, the wrap around is a pain in the cock...
