Default How restrictive is the inlet manifold on a series 2?

Just curious as to how restrictive they are when running 18psi of boost? Anyone tested one or compared it another inlet?

Cheers
Dave

i dont think they are that restrictive to be honest...Im not 100% but Tim runs a S2 manifold (or it could be a modified S1 manifold) at 300hp and its ok....same with Tony turbo?

do you think its holding your car back?

No just a bit bored at work so thought I'd put a post up. I need to get mine on the rollers really as its holding back mid boost now and again. Just trying to problem solve before I sell it. Cossie here I come. :D

I have heard that. To be honest though I think I'm better off spending my money on something capable of more power as the management system on a cozzie is far superior to the MFi system on the RST plus they seem to hold their value more. My Cabbie RST is good but would have to spend more money on it to make it capable of keeping up with higher power cars.

it can easily be done...just depends on your driving style and where you need the power...
