I was confused by this question though:

19. What's the correct order?
Intake, Power, Compression, Exhaust
Power, Exhaust, Intake, Compression
Exhaust, Power, Intake, Compression
Intake, Compression, Exhaust, Power

Isnt the correct answer intake, compression, power, exhaust?
Which is the same as option #2.

You are a respectable tuner. You probably subscribe to one or more tuner magazines and know, quite a bit about your car and/or racing in general. Either that or you play a ****load of GT3. At any rate, you recognize the difference between a wastegate and a blow-off valve. In time, and with practice, you may attain "Racer X" status since it is supposed that you are relatively new to tuning and still have much to learn. Keep, working, and thank the maker that you're not a ricer.

you dont need backpressure.. wtf do you need backpressure for? so u can fit less air/fuel?

Congratulations. You are the real thing. Chances are you could tear down your engine and put it back together in a weekend. You know a decent amount about racing dynamics. The "FATHF" culture has been a bane to your existence since you've been in the game for years before that horrid movie was released. Auto-x, drag racing, track time, you know enough to not sound like an *** while talking about it, and you can probably hold your own on the track too. Race on, good citizen, for you are a true Racer.

What are you talking about? For Turbo'd cars you're right, but a bit of back pressure in a NA car helps with torque. Look it up.
