im looking at getting a long runner sheet metal intake manifold and was wondering if it would still be just as good to daily drive on. im pushing around 22psi and getting 31-32mpg everytime i fill up and i dont want to hurt the mileage or the driveability of the car, would the manifold do anything like that?
running rich? turn the boost up
those kill bottom end, as does any short runner intake manifold......... im assuming thats why he asked about a long runner sheet metal intake.

Paul is selling his REALLY nice D plenum one like I have. Its for sale in his mid east thread. thing shines like its chrome.
I didnt notice any loss of low end... especially being turbo. I like my D plenum one as well since all the fittings are hidden on the bottom and it looks a lot cleaner than putting them anywhere else. I never noticed any losses with mine. But gained quite a bit as well as peace of mind knowing it wasnt plastic and going to shatter from pressure.
