    Lobster Elbow with Four Intakes?

    I have just brought a lobster elbow off ebay but it has four intake ports instead of the usual three, any ideas on why someone has made them with four?

    Any link to manufactures would be great.

    Thanks.

    Whatever you like ... water injection, carb top boost reading, etc.

    Mine has four as well. If you don't want to use if for anything just block it off ... I have two of mine blocked ... see here

    OK just was interested to know where these were sold from but no big deal more curiosity then anything else.
