Every one has an opinion but has anyone got Dyno figures to show which ones really do work the best ? I assume they all make a difference from stock , but how much ?

Proved to me once and for all that unless you have a high mount or other big HP configuration that requires removal of the crossover, it's not needed. I know B series plumbing is messy by comparison (to FG) so maybe some gains are to had there. From memory, Ratter's testing was done with the OEM paper filter also and not a K&N or similar.

ripped6 Donating Members 246 Member For: 13y 5m 11d Gender: Male Posted 06/01/13 03:12 AM Share Posted 06/01/13 03:12 AM Bomber I had mine re-tuned with the intake fitted... not really much point to modifying the car if you're not going to get it tuned to match those mods. However it is possible that I gained more power due to updates made in the tuning software (was about 6 months since the last tune). Obviously I wasn't really going to notice 11kws (2.5%), it was the response time of the turbo that felt a lot sharper, more instant power. I was very glad I did the intake as they were able to fatten my low-mid range power right up in the tune 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
