Question more for cincy or anyone else runnin this style intake..... I know the stock AF has a plastic tubing that routes incomming air through the fender well area.... With this style obviousely the cone filters are closed on top so your just sucking in engine bay air right??http://www.turbohoses.com/

 

5-8 Whp seems pretty nice to me for only 150.00 .....much better then the 240-300.00 for the others....If it works as well as they say. ..I Dont however see any of the other styles have such a smooth transitionn from filter to tubing as the machined velocity stack.

 

There are a handful of people with that intake. It is a much cheaper version of the evom's intake. You wont really gain much in the way of intakes on a stock turbo, but you can really increase the flow to the turbo and get a much nicer response.

evom's has a flow chart of a handful of intakes on vortex, ill see if i can find it.

 

K.... So i assume even by sucking in engine air as opposed to the cold airs it doesnt make much difference then?

 

people will argue that, but flow is more important than temp. The intercooler will make the iat the same before it hits the engine. But people will argue that you will spool up faster with a cai, but that will be so small you wont see any difference in spool. If you push the filter behind the battery away from the engine you are fine. If you wish, a simple heat sheild can be made.
