The basis of this thread is for those who are aiming beyond the current "stage 2", therefore we need to look at the whole system. As you say, that pipe is very well designed for running X cfm of air to a compressor inlet Y mm across to produce 90bhp. By the same token what that pipe is definitely not designed for is passing 3X cfm of air to a compressor inlet Y+10 mm across to produce Z bhp. With different turbos being fitted it becomes daft to hold on the original pipe, purely because of difficulties with fitment and space constraints if nothing else.
I think the bit where i said i don't care about looks or shiny or noise got missed, so here it is again. Dave, we're intelligent adults, please stop treating us as you would kids with toys. Constructive conversation appears to have come to a close already tbh, but it would be good if we could resume discussing why the maf is a restriction and how to improve it.
