Now I have a question. I have read other posts and I was in contact with M-Design when they were thinking about building a dual intake design. They were worried about over speeding a turbo due to intake tube lengths not being the same between turbos. Now there has been a few people making up their own dual intake designs and hasn't seemed to have a negative impact on anything yet.
My question is what happens if you join the 2 intake pipes like the AFE intake for the ecoboost F150's? would this eliminate a concern for one turbo running faster then the other?
The concern of over speeding a turbo, IMO, is/was unwarranted.
My own dual intake set up, has not resulted in such a phenomenon.
Furthermore, my experiences with this set up, using dual pipes, with one solitary filter, has simply allowed for each turbo to feed itself as needed.
Remember, the OEM set up is essentially dual pipe as well, but has a ton of crimps, flat spots, etc. Not to mention that absolutely horrible 180 degree bend, mid-engine.
Not a great OEM design performance wise, but for the masses, it is certainly sufficient. Both in cost, and in application.
The OEM design directs more air to that rear turbo anyhow, whereas the front turbo is working harder to extract it out of, or pull it from, that 180.
Too bad the aftermarket vendors didn't embrace a better set up, than what's currently offered out there. But then again, that's been the issue with this platform across many of its Generations over the decades. Both older SHO's, and the newest one's.
