Dutweiler Neck question...

[CanVan87GN]

Hello fellow Turbo Regal owners I recently picked up my Dutweiler Neck from Kirbans. My question is, will this devise still help me (look at signature) with a stock turbo? I see the outlet of the turbo is the same size as the inlet for the IC or is it? Is the main purpose to remove the stock, sharp bend in the intercooler? My turbo is in great shape and this is my daily driver. Should I wait for a bigger turbo (when I need a new one)or will I see gains from it on now? BTW (off topic), fixed all oil leaks and timing chain along with installing the Power Plate. Runs awesome. Sweeeeeeeet

Anything you can do to improve total airflow will help. IMHO, do it now and you'll see some results. Add a bigger turbo later and you'll get more out if it too.

So Joe, even if the outlet for the turbo is smaller than the dutweiler neck, it will still help flow? Is it the CFM of the Dutweiler vs. the stock IC neck? Thanks for the reply

At 20 psi about 1.5 to 2.0 lbs of boost is lost in the stock elbow. Installing the duttweiler neck will increase boost to the motor by about this much.
