This is the highest value performance mod available for this platform in my opinion. Fit and finish, aesthetics, the noises, the increased (felt) power and torque are all there. Install was a breeze with the write up in the product details. I suggest you let your coolant de compress for a bit before you pull the soft line off the hard line. I was absolutely blasted with coolant. Other than that small hiccup the supplied hardware and notes is so great
On start up it sounded pretty much the same as expected, I gave it a few stabs of the throttle and was genuinely blown away by how much noise this intake allows to come out and how good it sounds. You hear the turbo doing all its things and the intake sound at the filter is fantastic.
Performance with my stage 1 HT tune is as expected. More power and torque pretty much through the whole power band and throttle response is improved. It likes to sing past 4500 rpm’s.
Overall just buy this intake. Nothing even comes close at this price point and from what I’ve been reading it doesn’t really get much better the more you spend.
