Which Intake

I am in agreement with Dan, on the issue of location, what is the application
of your car?
In the world challenge series we had a big problem with turbo lag do to the
throttle being located after the turbo, the drivers had to simultaneously
feather the throttle when braking to keep the boost up so that they weren't
left behind coming out of the corners. I had suggested putting a vacuum
operated dump valve in the intake runner between the turbo and the throttle
but it was never tried, something the stock Eagles had. Allowing the turbo to
spin in a vacuum after closing the throttle means instant boost when the
throttle is nailed. Refer to TURBOCHARGERS by Hugh Macinnes.
    TIA
