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.

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?
