XRBoost Member 50 Member For: 8y 6m 20d Gender: Male Posted 09/12/16 10:50 PM Share Posted 09/12/16 10:50 PM Just wondering if anyone here has the plazmaman set up in their ba/fg turbos. I'm running the standard air intake with a kn air filter. Standard cross over pipe. I understand the gains won't be all that substantial if I change the set up but will help with air flow. Plus I'm not that big on the look of the cross over pipe. It is pricey with the battery location, and its a *beep* of a spot that the battery goes afterwards. Is it worth it though? Wouldn't mind bumping boost up a bit, running 12psi so maybe 15psi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I plan on relocating the battery myself and buying or having a mate make me an intake with cover - probably re use part of the current intake but re work it.

Is it just slightly louder， or is it the case of hearing more of induction noise than engine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could barely hear my quad tip exhaust over it, but it is meant to be a quiet exhaust system 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now running race box with 4" to gtx 35 and noise is minimal though boost is minimal also. In any case when the engine/turbo is getting more clean air the better for the engine/turbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have to look up some more setups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you hear it it's costing you money (fuel) Have had other people drive both cars and didn't hear either - not the way I want to drive. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
