As per the title, What would be the perfect inlet path to the turbo? Straight Pipe? Diameter?
Is there a Calculation to work out the correct inlet pipe length between filter & turbo?

As short as possible, with around a 15 degree gradient down to the turbo compressor inlet diameter.
Practicality of sucking in warm air screws this a little....which is where the fun begins

Carlos, Thanks, seen that picture before, APS DR550 turbo, doesn't show the inlet filter though, only a clocked turbo.
David, how do I seal a 100mm intake pipe onto a 72mm turbo inlet, PTFE?
LOL
Only joking M8
One thing I did notice about the APS upipe with T off for the external waste gate (see picture)that branch off must affect / disrupt gas flow into the turbo when the wastegate is closed. A sort of dead leg in the system????
