Reverse intake worth the trouble and what to choose ?
I've read quite a bit on the intake performance modifications and i noticed the following:
- The pre phase II engine intake have a better flowing construction
- Due to differenten heads the pre Phase II intakes simply don't fit as they are just too narrow
- In order to fit one of those on a Phase II engine you need to cut the airbox, flip it 180 degrees, weld in about 1- 1.5 cm in order to cross the gap and actually make it a tad wider.
Are these correct ?
Then, is this a modification that's worth the effort ?
- In other words will the response actually improve due to a shorter intercooler tubing ?
- Have these intake proven themselves to be more efficient and improve breathing which then results in better performance ?
Any other tips concerning benefits/drawbacks are highly appreciated.
P.s. i am aware that the injector seat is different but i will change the injectors accordingly anyway and get seat adaptors so that's not an issue for me.

I think that is a very interesting question.... any comments?
