can you elaborate into why hellion kits are inefficient??? Cause i thought that their kits made pretty good power. I mean 700rwhp single turbo 2v is pretty good i thought. I know some of the bends in the piping are a little extreme but they make decent power and are really high quality.
I'll elaborate a little.
Basically, you need to know that to drive a turbo, not only does the gases from the exhaust come into play, but the heat from the exhaust gas should also be used to drive the gasses towards the turbo.
When the gas comes out from the combustion chamber, it's damn hot. Most people know that heat rises, but most people don't know that carefully designed turbo systems (such as those that are OEM) are specificaly built to make use of the heat from exhaust gases to further increase the efficiency of the total system.
Now, the second you change boost levels, or turbo size, you change slighty what the most efficient design would be.
The piping of hellion turbo's could be designed slightly more thermally efficient, I'll just leave it at that.
