That's one more 90 degree bend then my turbo has on my cold side....
And I have single exhaust, so that's only half the work there too! LOL...
I know you LOVE staging at idle, but I bet you'd love you car even more if it were faster with a turbo and all you had to do is put it on a two step during staging...
But I understand... going slow is a good trade off for easy staging.
