Can you really do something to the inlet of the turbo that will make power? I mean we’ve all seen nitrous fed through them and know that this works, and there have been modifications to the turbo inlets by different turbo companies that help clean up the air as it goes into the compressor wheel. But what can you do as an installer to make more power? Can adding a simple cone to the inlet actually make a power difference? Is it enough to make it worth doing in your car or truck?
Let’s find out with testing by Richard Holdener.
