If they were smart, they would build us a manifold like the b18 but with smaller runner diameter. But who spends time/money on the dyno? On Ig, Skunk2 reported gains while the car the went rich. while they probably just got mixed up with lean and rich its still not a good sign.

Like.... you're talking about lightweight alternator and water pump pullies, right?

Lightweight crank pulley is where it's at

He is talking about pulley swap for the brotrex that was on the test car.

That sounds like a lot of work. I'd rather swap an intake manifold on a BP05.

You may have to wait a while, since this intake manifold won't fit any BP4W or BP6D cylinder head.

Well, logically speaking if there's a BP05 variant, a 4W/6D variant should be in the works.

BUT, this IS Junk2 we're talking about.

Greg just did a video on one of these....
I looked up the specs and the runners are 10 inches long. How does that compare to the square top?.
I see they have provided dual mounting points to the head? High and low.....What is that for?
Raising the cylinder port?

Greg said it fits the NA and NB.
Since I have only every owned 2 NBs.......I wouldn't know what a useless NA head looked like if it hit you square in the face.
All I know is the POS costs you hp.....and the car has funny lights.

I know that it takes less time to raise boost by one psi than to install this, but does anyone have dyno numbers?
