What performance increases (if any) does it bring? slight approx 5rwkw on the T as dyno tested, however combined with other performance mods it contributes to a complete package to help the flow of the car.3. How does it boost performance (if indeed it does)? Slight not noticeable besides slightly better throttle response4. How much do they cost? anywhere from $100 to $175 (Get them on sale)5. Anywhere special to buy them from, or any old auto shop? Yep6. Are they an appropriate purchase for a Typhoon?

Dysard Member 12 Member For: 19y 2m 18d Posted 02/02/06 11:43 PM Share Posted 02/02/06 11:43 PM Won't do anything for performance. The computer in the T/Typhoon controls the boost pressure and will not allow a pressure increase over its programmed limit. By installing the better flowing air filter you allow the turbo to work a little easier, but it won't increase boost pressure and therefore no extra power.If you are going to mod the intake system, you really need to do the lot (Air filter, Intercooler, Hoses etc) and get it tuned (psi increase) for the better airflow.
