if this theory is so wrong then prove it. its been proved that placement of inlets to turbos does make a difference

 

Hey if you want to dump about 15k into a project truck for me so I can prove you wrong, then be my guest! Would certainly appreciate the donation!

I've never been one to follow the myths of the automotive industry like they're written scripture...I tend to challenge and analyze them, and your assertion is definitely a myth. Again, I'd like to know where you heard that? If it has been proven, then I would certainly like to see your source. If it turns out you're right, then I will shut my mouth.

As for evidence to the contrary...take those fancy jet cars as an example, and think of how their driver sits not more than a foot or two from the inlet of those engines. The average jet engine in those cars consumes 30,000 cubic feet of air per second. Surely the jet engine and the driver's lungs would be playing tug-o-war according to your theory, would they not? Yet it looks to me like drivers never have any problems breathing. It is the same concept for turbo intakes that are too close together.

 

gathered the info from theturboforums,ls1tech,yellowbullet. for something easy for you to search. year ago a nova with twin 70s or 76s had their turbos facing eachother on a 6litre and it was a nice dicussion of the two turbos facing that way. Parish was part of this build

between my three turbo kits i dont have 15k into them, who spends 15k ?

 

also having a directed air flow into turbos have proved to see gains at the track. I seen this first hand on a camaro. another member of this site proved his studies as well and currently is fastest street truck on this site. now if a directed/forced air is great benefit then a lack of air flow would hurt performance. not mention having turbos inward lack the air flow as you would if you had them behind the lights where this is a larger opening for air flow.

 

Again, it sounds like word-of-mouth just passed on and accepted. Put a vacuum gauge in between those filters and show me the pressure drop. Otherwise, I'm not convinced. Now if you had the turbo inlets breathing through the same filter, maybe then would they actually be playing tug-o-war.

BTW if you're gonna build me a twin turbo truck, might as well do it right, hm? lol

 

well if you dont want ot believe that is fine, go do some searching there buddy. but you still havent proved this wrong....now its time for you to explain for others to see what you have to say

my setup is done right and i still didnt spend that cash on the turbo setup.

 

You know people search for God and actually find him...you're telling me that's hard evidence??

Anyway, I'm done here. OP, sorry for getting your thread off track. Put your turbo intakes wherever jesus recommends...

 

not trying to stir the pot, but i don't think i remember parish mentioning a problem with the air cleaners being close together...

the topic came up in the past on ls1tech and another FI sight but its been awhile

 

Oh, what was the result f moving them? More boost, more consistant boost, etc?
