    Modified Twin Turbo Pipe

    Hello
    I've been reading GTROC about a modified twin turbo pipe
    http://www.gtr.co.uk/forum/84482-tes...urbo-pipe.html
    It has a divider welded inside of it to help with turbo shuffle

    I just have a couple questions...
    What is turbo shuffle? I'm gonna take a non-educated guess and say its when the air being sucked by the two turbos is not being evenly distributed?
    Based on information that I've found, it's only a problem on twin turbo setups and that if your going WOT, this won't be a problem. When I'm like half on the throttle, sometimes I can hear the recirc going off constantly, almost like a train, sort of..... would this be turbo shuffle?
    Also, does anyone on this forum have this modified twin turbo pipe? If so, what is your opinion about it. The discussion is straight forward with evidence to back up their claim, but wouldn't Nissan have known about this and if it was that big of a problem, remedied it? It's not like it costs a lot of money to do, just a simple pipe modification. Also 10-20 bhp gains for ~$200 dollars from an engine that makes less than 400 whp seems too good to be true...

    Thanks

    The search function sucks, seriously, I've never dealt with such a broken search engine before. The only reason I found it was because I had already seen it and I remembered the title.

    I have an upgraded version of the OEM twin turbo pipe available, new in box. It's the HKS racing chamber. Badass in simple words.
    No build thread.

    ya all the pipe does is seperate the flow from both turbos because the two normally meet and collide like two highway onramps meeting in the same lane (obviously not very efficient) kinda surprised the engineers at nissan didnt think of this on the first twin turbo car they ever made. and if you still have the pipe bruizer ill take it ill pm you
