Ive read tons of topics before on whether to choose a 3inch inlet or 2.4 on the turbo but what if 2.4 was the only choice and since I need to buy a new inlet, I buy a 3inch inlet (with 2.4 reducer) mated to a 3 inch "big maf" air intake?
I am trying to think of the physics but I am A not an engineer and B rusty on even the basics these days.
Would I be close in assuming that the larger the diameter of Turbo inlet pipe and Intake, the less of a vacuum(meaning less work for compressor)?
I understand that the turbo opening is 2.4"***8960; but if I were to "suck" (I know, science does not suck) air through a 2.4"***8960; washer and then a 2.4"***8960; hose that was 5 feet long, it would take more effort to suck air through the hose than the washer therefore reducing the volume and/or velocity? Which in turn would mean a 3" hose after that 2.4" washer would be more efficient...Right?
Hahaha I hope I dont get
too bad.
