Default ST170 Inlet
does the ST170 inlet manifold flow better than the High Flow alloy inlet found on the 130 specs?

what's the application? flow wise it's pretty good (dependent on runner position vs rpm), but doesn't take boost well.

are you experiencing symptoms of inlet restriction e.g. torque flat-lining at higher rpms? if not i wouldn't bother as you'll need the imrc box connecting up to your omex to make the most of it.....
