    Default plenum, intercooler pipings?

    how does having a larger intercooler piping,lets say 4" , bigger plenum and bigger throttle helps in gaining performance? how would it affect otherwise? heard that it will bogged down like hell if things are not done properly. very interested in it.

    well the bigger piping, cooler and plenum increases the overall capacity of the system, so more air has to be pumped before you get boost.
    the benefit of the bigger cooler and piping is the cooler will usually cool more effectively and the big piping can flow alot more air, but to outflow 2.5 or 3 inch pipe you would be moving a massive amount of air.

    the bigger plenum is good for something which im still catching on to, something to do with even air flow etc...

    im running max 26psi on scramble boost... normal will be 20psi max...

    then how bout the throttle? i guess it doesnt just plug and play like that.. should have supporting mod to go with it. if yes then what?
