Sorry Bill - it's the inside I'm talking about, the ruler is lined-up with the inside edge of the Turbo housing, whereas the NA ( inside) edge is clearly seen to be below the ruler edge.

If you look past the outside edge into the inside where I have the torch shining through - perhaps I need a better photo.

George,

While I understand what you're talking about it is inside that is important. I believe you will find the hole in the INSIDE the same. The splitter seperates the flow. But sddoesn't change the timing.

Subject: [FlyRotary] Turbo Ports

There you go Rusty,

I had to hold the torch between my feet to get some light in the housing to light- up the ports.

I took the photo 4 times, this is the best I could do, but I feel the photo clearly shows the Turbo port ( lower shiny housing) to be larger and most of all, quite a bit higher ( closing event) than the NA port - therefore more overlap.

The opening event ( timing) is exactly the same.
