intake

Postby 1991cummins » Wed May 13, 2009 9:04 pm

will too small of an intake cause EGT problems (too hot)? basicly, with my setup i have stock intake due to lack of funds :( and im curious if a bigger one will drop EGT's??? i know i will see higher boost from a higher cfm, but im curious if the loss of restriction pre turbo will help with the temp?

any thoughts appreciated :)

Yep, a bigger intake should help lower EGT's.

If you wanna test it, go for a ride, then pull the inlet tube from the turbo and drive it again. Compare EGT readings, I bet it's a lot different!

Just enough power to break everything behind the crankshaft.
