hard to explain then.
if you stand in front of the car, open the bonnet (
).then you should see a big thing in front of you, called an Engine (
)look at the exhaust manifold (the thing with the turbo('s) on there) and then look at the other side. there you should find 6 injector thingys...the injectors!
lol. sorry i cant seem to find a good way to explain it!

The manifold is bolted to the head and then injectors protrude through... there will be a fuel rail connecting all 6 injectors and each injector will have a wire going to it

the intake manifold, happens on the left side of the block. it mixxes the air with the fuel, goes passed the valves (on the left side) and then goes into the engine, gets burned, the gasses passing the valves on the left, and gets out via the exhaust manifold.
Yeah I understand the flow goes from the intake to the injectors through the engine and out the exhuast. But if you follow the intake manifold backwards, where does it lead to? Because the induction kit is on the exhuast side of the engine.

The inlet goes through the offside wing and to the intercooler which in turn goes across the front of the car to the turbos outlet side, the turbo draws its air through the airfilter before sending it to the intercooler.

Ignore how crap it is, Also only one turbo to keep it simple.
So the airflow goes... Airfilter, turbo, intercooler, throttle, inletmanifold, head, cylinder, exhaust manifold, turbo, exhaust pipe.
Obviously on its way out it spins the turbo that then pressurises the air going in.
If people have an interest in diagrams like this I could take the time to draw them properly.
