JB Forum Superhero Donating Members 3,109 Member For: 20y 11m 12d Location: Eastern Suburbs of Mexico Posted 09/02/06 01:34 AM Share Posted 09/02/06 01:34 AM 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.Rubbish.

I have bought two K&N's from there before. I havnt put one in the T cos they did nothing for fuel consumption.....as expected!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
