in theory, if the piping is ov a smaller diameter, will the pressure and velocity of the air be increased, so would using smaller tubing when doing this be of a positive effect?
just a theory?

measure the diameter of your inlet on your throttle body for the pipe size and then the pipes are linked together using the silicone tubing and jubilee clips.
as for Tombo. i dont think that would be of positive effect. i bought my piping wider so that it gets a compressing effect as the air ghoes throught the reducer into the throttle body.
