Your point is well taken. I paid close attention when cutting all the pipes to smooth the edges with a file or bench grinder where necessary. I think the collective negative effect of the plumbing between the turbo and the throttle body will be pretty unrecognizable. With no intercooler, I'm hoping this setup will spool very quickly.
I'm more so concerned about the air filter plumbing. I have an alternative set of plumbing and an air filter to run behind the rear wheel which has only one 90 degree bend. I'll run some tests to see at what RPM a given boost level is reached. Should be interesting. I'm also curious about how much the ambient air temperature has an effect on the temperature of the air coming out of the turbo. With these two air filter setups (one in the rear wheel well and one in the engine compartment) combined with the Andial air temp gauge, I should be able to make some conclusions.
