kc sly Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 This may be a stupid question, havent modded a car since having my 1987 IROC in high school back in 1999, but I want to install a cold air intake on 2010 LGT do I need to do something to the ECU also?? THanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
09Libs Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 are you looking at tuning? rule of thumb when you change something like that best on a turbo car like ours, do a tune, so for instance, when i got my car it was stock, i then went and changed my BOV, i then was also looking at a tune, so i did that as well, i then changed my exhaust, which i then got it re tuned, now i am looking at doing a bigger top mount, which i will do and follow up with a tune, so if u change something either get it tuned if it stock, or re tuned if you have it tuned and changed a part!!

acumenhokie Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 No point in adding an intake to the LGT unless you're going stage 3 (turbo swap). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THanks. No need unless you've dropped about $3000 on a bigger turbo. Our cars flow plenty of air to satisfy Stage II mods. Best to spend your money on a RSB or ABE and leave the intake alone.

Brainchild Customs Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 There is nothing cold about that hot air intake AIT's are equal or lower to the numbers I saw with the stock box. Plus increased throttle response and sound... I'd take my "hot air intake" over stock any day of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gen5is Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 You could always remove the resonator and feed a tube down to the wheel well with a pod filter on the end of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxrider28 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 [emoji17] Well I guess I'll be nice and say.... Welcome to the forum! Read this entire thread and use the site search. No benefits to modding the intake on a 5th Gen GT unless you're highly modded with a bigger turbo. If you want intake sound do the milk jug delete and HKS funnel and maybe a aftermarket panel filter.

Elegua Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Won't stock support up to about 350whp or so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackal8788 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Won't stock support up to about 350whp or so? I think close, but maybe a little less due to maxing out the MAF. VF54 to 20G to VF54 to 18G build thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SixStar5280 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Only reason I ask is friend of mine had an 08 Spec B and swears he needed cold air to run Cobb stage 2 w TBE to generate around 300whp with all other stock components. Also keep in mind I am at mile high elevation and I'm guessing that could be a reason why I might need more air flow to run a stage 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackal8788 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 You'll be okay for 300 whp. The MAF responds to air density, not volume. You're at a higher elevation so for a given volume of air, the density will be reduced as compared to a lower elevation. That means that even if you are flowing more air in order to try hitting boost targets, the MAF is still only responding to the density of the air entering, not the volume.
