had barely any difference in peak g/s when did logging comparing a CAI with Apexi filter vs Jetex cone without an air feed.

only difference I felt was before the boost throttle response not as sharp and a small increase in lag with the cone, heat shield and 3" air feed with the cone seemed to be an improvement.

would like to do more logging but only so much can be done on my local test track...

Power on mine was exactly the same with and without an airbox/R32 intake

Was a bit of a fiddly job, as there is not that much space down the side of the battery (as I have a cover), oh, and the pipe was 3" in diameter! After removing the battery and all surrounding trim, scraping my fingers, repositioning the little air sensor and (I think) the horn and trimming the bumper grill, the job is done! :cool:





I am so glad, because I was having issues sleeping, but now I'm in for some peaceful nights! :grin: :tongue:
