Sleeper7 is the man!! Hey does your turbine say HONDA KILLER on it........LOL

My understanding is that the surge tank just gives the air a place to get bounced around in until the engine can receive it.

i always thought of it like a bank....

you deposit your money, and then pay the bills....

An aftermarket ECU would be required with something like this, correct?

Technically, you could probably make it work on a n/a with the stock ecu, but you would want a standalone. I dont think the gains would be worth the effort/cost on the stock ecu.

Depending on the length and the return wave generated from the rotors why would the middle runners always get more air?

Yes, that is correct. This is the reason why Honda B-series engines and Nissan SR20 and Toyota 2JZ engines will run lean on a specific cylinder due to unequal airflow distribution.

Isin't this were tuning comes into play, no matter what type of intake your using/making/fabricating?

I don't have enough experience to offer a good opinion on this matter.

If you're talking about fine tuning fuel injectors on certain primary or secondary runners to keep AFR's in check, then yes this is a band aid way of doing it.
