Anyone have Eastern Aerospace Turbo Ductwork mod? S70 98

posted by  someone claiming to be Ray Niblett on  Fri Feb 16 18:32 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Does anyone have the Eastern Aerospace "Turbo Ductwork

Assembly Upgrade Kit". Their web page, http://www.easternaerospace.com/automotive/engine/,

indicates it is a new product for them. I'm wondering

how well it works.

I understand the shorter ductwork illustrated at the web

site is the original design for the turbo engine but was

revised to reduce problems with icing on the intake.

(That would not be a problem for me where I live.)

They claim 20HP gain (estimated) but I don't

see how it would add horsepower. I can see how it would

reduce turbo lag (less plumbing to bring up to pressure)

and that might be worth the entry cost. It ertainly seems

like a better way to run the intake.

So, does anyone have this mod?

Thanks
