Open one with the heat shield is crazy loud thenNot the Evo the one that is included in the Power package.
any CEL after installing this?Intakes are just for sound. You get a small bit if you are leaning on the turbo hard due to the reduced pressure drop accross the filter. This also gives a very small but not noticeble transient response improvement. But the power on the car is regultad by a torque controlled system and it will self regulate to get consistent airflow.
you'll get ~ 10 whp increase with the intakeAnyone?
Any issue with CEL after installing this?you'll get ~ 10 whp increase with the intake
the EVO sound increase is mild, its certainly more noticeable than stock but won't give you the loud whoosh sound
if that's what you are looking for, get the Injen open-intake
Also its just an intake tube... There isnt even a MAF sensor in this car. There is a simple pressure sensor in the intake tract. The only time i have seen a check engine on this platform is on the first gen B58 there are some intakes that the connection to the PCV system doesnt seal and causes issues.any CEL after installing this?
Ill say it one more time... I highly doubt you will get ANY power on a factory tune on this intake. I have yet to see any intake make a car faster than the other and a number of records are set on stock airboxes. These are mostly for noise. These cars use a torque based ecu and the car knows how much air is flowing through it and reduces the air flow if the torque goes over the current target. You can cool a car down all you want and re-run and see magic power gains... When on the dyno the charge temps can go up and then you smack the oem load limitation where the car cannot increase load to produce more power when it gets warm, as well as many other thermal tune limitations. I only saw intake gains when i pegged the turbo at 95-100% duty cycle and made sure all logged temps were identical and it was just at the top end. And that was with a drop in filter not an aftermarket intake.
Intake companys always claim great power gains but the reality is most of them are just wonderful dyno conditions.
