reverse flow

How to go faster, stop quicker, and turn harder. Chips, exhaust, larger turbos, bigger/slotted/drilled rotors, high performance brake pads, manual boost controllers, performance shocks/struts/springs, airbox mods and more! Also discussion on HID and Xenon lights, aftermarket foglights and other exterior lighting.

You need to find data as to temp and horse power figure's from real world experimentation or Dyno testing to get the answer. Everything else is an opinion or feeling but it looks great under the hood and when your happy :D it feels faster :lol: !

If you're talking about the reverse intercooler piping, then no, it doesn't make a whole lot of difference.

To reiterate what Rob said, there are usually several bottlenecks to address before this. Some at lower cost, higher benefit.
Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Also -> Amazon link
. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!

As RobTarD Stated what do you want exactly? If you are after a nicer looking engine bay then you can spend as much as you like otherwise there are no performance gains to speak of with the IPD Kit unless there is data out there to show it.
