Which Intake

But, if you place the throttle blades BEFORE the fresh air
side of the turbos, for a few seconds anyway, the turbo will
keep pressurizing the plenum while creating a vaccum on the
pre-turbo side... thus giving you less throttle reponse when
you let up on the gas pedal.  Most OEMs, as far as I can
tell, place the throttle plates after the turbo, and I
copied this on my twin-turbo setup, with two throttle
assemblies.
