Ghost..that may be best handled with a pm.

Overall..my findings are that yes...laminar flow is good. However the MAF screen corrects any turbulance that my supercharger was attempting to pull through it. I would believe that your NA does the same. Now..trying to run w/o the screen .. I wasn't able to because there simply wasn't the right amount of laminar flow with my smooth wall 4" piece of tubing.

appologies

I think I may gut the box today and see what happens
