Scott sez:  >>>>GIVEN the flow numbers posted, it would appear quite obvious to me what you
have.  A baseline establishing those numbers validity might be advised before
we continue.  Happy to go forward, me thinks the numbers posted and
assumptions are a wee bit off Bruce.  Let's establish what was posted as
being accurate first.  Then I'd be happy to go to the RS2 discussion.<<<<

Well, a discussion for any of the turbo mods being sold will do.  Let me rephrase the question:  Has anyone that is selling turbo "mods" done any flow or other actual testing to show IC eff?  If so, with the trubos being sold, what does the actual research show?  I am getting the feel here that no testing has been done.  No?

Eric posted what he claimed Spearco told him.  Has anyone done the testing necessary to show the numbers wrong?  If so, what was the test and what was the result?  Assumptions and theory stuff aside, please.  I really am looking for an *answer* here, not arguments.
