[quote=“HotRodKid,post:21,topic:25465"”]

so the best way to make air flow around a corner is to smash it into a wall ?

and the low pressure after the bend would be countered by the high pressure in the pipe before the bend

i prefer to beleive that RIPP just doesnt know what they are doing … because they have proven in the past that they dont … they couldnt even put proper tunes into they grey boxes, and refused to admitt there was a problem

the best part is, Tearstone makes good money selling parts that fix the inherient problems w/ RIPP kits … RIPP kits run BETTER after tearstone modifies them, lol

kinda sad when a turbo company has to fix a supercharger companies problems for them

Well obviously it doesn’t flow better. Its main purpose is to minimize compressor surge. Its a way to optimize flow while getting the benits of surge protection.
