I wonder if anyone has flow tested that gato intake, or any intake for a 3tc just to have performance numbers to compare.
They definitely have allot of hype around them...

If am not mistake on the old board toyota3tc HPD (Devin) and Eville had both custom intakes with incorporated velocity stacks. Both was having leaning issue in 2 3 cylinder !
So i think design matter much when it comes to flow

Thing is the velocity stacks that protrudes out into the plenum in a turbo intake wont work as good as one with them flushed mounted on the plenum, and the cast versions that have better lines inside the plenum are the best of them all, here is something something i found about it!

That is a nice one, i never dig the injectors in the underneath, but that is just me, i always like how they look on the top!
