what intake system would u recommend?

im looking for an intake system and so far the K&N systems seems to offer the best gains. any suggestions?

stock airbox w/ a drop in filter will do just fine for the stock turbo.

stock with drop-in filter... keeps heat away and it doesnt heat up like a metal pipe.

 

Becareful of the MAF sensor housing sizing of aftermarket intakes.. some are built bigger than others (which is what could be showing of the power gains because it's leaning out the motor 'by accident'). You are feeding more air into the system but the MAF sensor and ECU still thinks that the MAF sensor housing is still stock, so everything is still scaled to the stock MAF housing diameter.

Just dropped in an AVO panel filter...a slight whoooooosh sound and my butt dyno likes it

K&N Typhoon. Contact TDC for details.

 

Before I installed my AP, I was measuring about 10-20 flywheel hp. I ran my first sub 12 second 1320' with my Typhoon and 100 octane.

If you are deadset on a intake, make sure you are Protuned for it;)

 

Have tried several....most SUCKED!

 

Here are 3 that work very well

 

K&N Typhoon

AVO

Blitz

 

The K&N is by far the least expensive of the 3.

I have the AVO & it is very quiet (As quiet as my Perrin panel filter)

 

Remember!......If you get one.....get tuned for it!

^^^^ what he said.

 

I run a stock air box....

I will be tuning the AEM cold air unit in the next few months. I will update the board on how that goes. Hopefully it does suck!!! (oh that was bad I know)

I have been running the AEM for 5 months now and love it. I will also be getting my car tuned for it, in the next week or so.

I believe TDC tuning states the Perrin short ram is a bad choice. Something about turbulance around the MAF sensor.

i love my perrin short ram

but if i had to get a new intake system

i'd get k&n typhoon

stock airbox w/ a drop in filter will do just fine for the stock turbo.

 

i use the blitz filter (oil free cleaning)

He hit the nail right on the head, No mention of the AEM though? I thought that was a pretty good one, according to a few other members....of course that is Full CAI's not just drop in filters......I am running the K&N and love it. (Protuned)

For all you running the AEM, when dynotuned you will be just fine! I am tuned with Crucial DP, AEM intake, and 17.5psi. My EGTs are fine (although Im gonna have them double check since its over 110 degrees outside now, and it will be free for any adjustments). They said everything was fine, the a/f was fine, the powercurve is incredibaly smooth, and I had a very nice gain at the dyno. They said CAI's are fine on Subarus, as long as there is no air being pulled in from the hot engine bay. AEM is from the fender.

 

 

Another good one is, APS. They make quality products. But its a SRI, so Im a little uneasy about that. Im sure its the correct diameter though. They put some nice R&D into their products.

Oh, and my a/f and EGTs were way screwed when I got tuned. I installed the catless DP the night before, and never boosted on it or drove slightly peppy until i was tuned the next morning. So that could be what really messed up my a/f. I ran the intake for about a month and a half before the tune. It seemed to be ok, but there were some moments the car seemed to lag/stress where it shoudnt have.

We completed a data log on my car this past Tuesday with the AEM, and Invidia up-pipe, the A/F was still running just fine in safe areas. But I will not put my down-pipe on until I have my PP7 which will be tuned for the intake and other parts.
