Jackal is 100% correct, you have to understand the reason for an aftermarket intake on a turbo car... The intake feeds the turbo...
With the size of our turbo, anyone who puts on an aftermarket intake is only going to LOSE hp, and have issues with their cars. The ONLY reason to upgrade the intake is for more airflow to feed a larger turbo.
I know of multiple people who have my EXACT mods, but for some dumb reason put on a SRI or after market CAI, and they can not achieve the same awhp #'s I have. With the location of the turbo, our engine bay gets insanely hot, any SRI you put on the car will only suck up all of that hot air. People say it doesn't matter because of the intercooler... they are wrong, the intercooler in circuit cools the condensed air coming from the turbo, so you are still running extremely hot and expanded air into the turbo.
This is a very bad idea... Do not put on an aftermarket CAI or SRI because you want the whoosh sound... if you want it that bad just get a different BPV/BOV.
