Scary Induction

I was trying to find some data on my M90 and found a few projects that honestly make me wonder how they even function. I'm nowhere near an expert, but these seem sketchy to me.

PVC pipe anyone?

It's no wonder this guy had discharge temperature issues. (PVC again!)

Anyone else have any others to share?

Thats ummm.. interesting.. I'm looking for an "RR" on it.

Wow, now that is an accurate observation... Just the sort of thing that RR likes to do. Just one of the issues I have for all things RR.

Personally, I would build a transition piece out of sheet metal to go between the compressor discharge port and the piping in order to reduce the insanity. What is truly scary is that these folk are proud of the work. Enough so to post it up for the World To See.

Amazing, simply amazing.
 
Heck if you guys need something like that, contact me. I am finishing up a 3D printer that will use Ultem and work fine in under hood applications, even intakes.
 
Print me a performance intake for a 4.0 with an EGR port then!
 
AND THEN...

And then on top of the redonkulous use of material, the "designer" just slapped a simple plate on the discharge port. There is a reason that the Engineers at GM used a transition piece on the port.

If the discharge port must be reduced (bad idea...) then at least do it gracefully with a proper transition piece. Even a sheet metal piece would be better than what the "fine fellow" posted up as his Miraculous Example of Engineering Expertise.

I am finishing up my custom extruder so I can make the filament from Ultem plastic. It is really good with heat. The problem at the moment is that I have to buy about a grand worth of pellets to start up, and I am in Minnesota instead of at home with my shop. I am hoping to do a laser scan on a manifold and get it into Solidworks in the next couple of weeks.
