Otto, I've never had one of those in my possession, so I don't know how they flow. If you ever take your car apart for any period of time, maybe we can set up a flow-test.
I do have a rough-cast
Opel Parts and Service SSD intake. It was apparently an intake they designed and had cast for Mantapart...and then Mantapart didn't buy them even after contracting them. So they sold them directly to their own Opel customers instead. Just before Tom Thevenin decided to retire, he sent me a list of misc parts he was looking to unload, and one of these items was an as-cast SSD intake they made. It was never even machined, just a raw casting. So I bought it, and drilled/tapped it to fit, but never tested it. I suppose at some time I'll have on throw it on my flowbench, but unfortunately the 1.5 litre 'test head' I used for these other flow tests is currently on loan to a friend of mine. I'd rather use that head to bolt the intake to because any variation will skew results.
