STS snorkle ? restricting air flow?
i think my STS snorkle with the outerwear is restricting my air flow and wanting to know if its doing any harm to my engine as far as maybe running lean? it runs 100 times better when i attach my other filter directly to the turbos compressor. people say you gain Hp with the snorkle setup due to pulling in cool air but for me its a very big loss .
just chenged my turbo also, the old garret t60 had a 3inch compressor intake and the snorkle hose was also a 3inch, never had this issue , but i also always ran the snorkle setup.
my new turbonetics 60-1 has a 4 inch compressor intake, so i purchased a 4inch to 3 inch reducer and attach this when i need to use the snorkle for bad weather and it runs no were near as it does when i just hook up the filter direct. could this be bad or the reason from the reducer going from 4inch to a 3 inch reducer and snorkle hose???
