Sasha Member 141 Member For: 17y 5m 21d Gender: Male Location: North Queensland Posted 11/02/08 11:56 AM Share Posted 11/02/08 11:56 AM I have just finished modifying my intake pipework to eliminate the crossover assembly, relocate the BOV and shorten overall intake length. Intake temps are expected to have dropped dramatically and turbo seems to spool much faster than before. Also torque into 3rd gear has increased HEAPS..Pulls very hard. Im impressed with the increase..Also sounds awesome coming on song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat-Tony Member 5,364 Member For: 18y 10m 8d Posted 11/02/08 11:11 PM Share Posted 11/02/08 11:11 PM You would be surprised it is actually not as bad as you might be thinking. When I have been FULLY SICK in the past and run my dose pipe, which essentially puts the filter in the same area as the above picture, there is honest to got not a huge difference. The car goes like crap on a hot day no matter what setup I run and on a cold night it still hauls arse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
