Well designed runner to plenum stack will show great improvements in flow return velocity. So the positing can play a roll. I prefer keeping a dedicated plenum to stage centered input. "Or you could put one of the air spin tornados in your intake ;-)"

Most OEM cars are that way because of cost benefit. Well the intake pulse tuning will be in the runner design shape wall thickness material used and so on but that’s another discussion, however the plenum just needs to be large enough to hold the amount of volume needed for the return pulse. 4 paragraphs lol and I doubt either of us got anything useful from these two posts

So those runners must be retuned to avoid this effect. With the rotary it's probably not a huge deal since 9 times out of 10 the runners in line with the throttle body are for the primary ports and Mazda has generally not tuned them in the same way as they work on the secondaries.
