    inlets

    is it possible to get custom inlets as in bigger bore without the plenum chamber or is the plenum chamber required?

    because i though that it distributed the air pressure evenly to all 4 cylinders but its force fed direct into the cylinder (shape of the inlet) rather than from aside and the air has to take a 90 degree turn to get to the cylinders(rover style inlet?

    with that in mind is it possible to make a stainless steel inlet?

    Stainless will conduct heat more then the cast aluminium. There is a reason nearly every inlet manifold ever made is aluminium and since fuel injection, has a plenum, because that what works.


    With forced induction the inlet design is less important then other areas, we've seen people muck about in areas where no gain can be made before...
