intake baffle
Can some one tell me the pro's and con's of debaffling the intake?
I am thinking of casting a new baffle tube out of aluminum. (less the baffles)
That way I will still have the original for warrenty visits to the dealer.
I am trying to figure out if it isworth the effort.

But I want t keep the oringinal intak for warranty trips to the dealer.
If I was going to gut the original I would set it up in my mill or on the lathe to clean it out. (a little neater cuts)
When I some extra time that I need somthing to do with I will make a pattern and core box and cast a new one out of aluminum (less the baffles and maybe some internal fins to put a reverse rotation to the air flow to help the turbo grab more air IE: tamdem counter rotating props are more efficient than a single prop)

RE: intake baffle
I like the idea, however for the size of the intake tube and the mass of air that is being drawn in, I doubt you would get the vortex of air your thinking about. I did a quick test on my restriction gage a while back and found that to pull the gage to the red you need about 1psi vacuum.
so granted you do have alot of volume, I dont think the pressure is realy there to support it.
