air filter direct to turbo

I have run the MAF on the Pressure side for four years...

I know... but I'm saying to run the perrin for an intake without the MAF on it. But turn the perrin upside-down. So the tube goes from the turbo to the bottom of the engine bay... might work pretty good. It' will get "cooler" air...

Not really, the outlet is off axis with the turbine. I think you are really loosing perspective. You are talking about 0.0001% loss to flow.

True. I can't argue that, I don't know anything about the dynamics of airflow. Thats what made the most sense in explaining why one design worked better than the other to me. If it was only .0001 % different, it made a major difference nonetheless

Colder is always perfered, normally on a car equipped with a FMIC or SMIC, the diference is not normally worth the effort to **** around with it.

If the intake is 25 or 23 Deg, it's still going to go through a IC...

my guess would be the diff. in intake temps is much larger when its direct filter vs. SRI(depends on brand)/CAI

Every Bit helps. You just have to decide if that is woth the money for you...
