The hilljack kids get some beer in them and dont have shit to do so they go out and fuck with any nice car they can find. Is this Natrona or Kittanning? ---

it’s what max of 2" thick i think? even the universal ones that flow good (place in canada sells em and i think SBR started to carry a variant) flow upwareds of 750cfm with minimal pressure drop and are 3" thick a diesel core you will see a lot of pressure drop (specially on that turbo you had) and not very good flow rates ---

As for pressure drop, i always thought that 16G was way too laggy. I wasnt getting full boost till like 4K, never had anything to compare it to though. You think that might be part of the problem? ---

part of it, i know who the ic is from and i’m sick of talking about that place. anywaays yeah that ic is horribly inneficient (you just confirmed that by saing butler) a while ago someone from 'talk picked one of those up and tested it, it barely outperformed the 1g sidemount (which is actually a well designed core) unforutnatly i dont have the links to that anymore or i would show you. my Big16g with the supra sidemount i see 24psi before 3krpms [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/man-i-have-such-bad-luck/163237.md?page=2)
