it looks bling but it doesn't do anything. I've seen a dyno where it added 2hp over the stock unit. You can get more air in much cheaper and better than that... The fitment isn't great from the unit I saw.

Not worth the silly money they are asking for it, unless you are doing the show circuit thing...

I have a GruppeM CAI on my X5 it looks nice but as far as any HP gains not so sure, IMHO they are way overpriced just for looks.

DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT INSTALL THIS ITEM!!!!
We had a customer install this...A month later he was paying many thousands for new turbos!!! Problem is it is not a sealed system. There is room for debris to get around the filter and it did!!! Rocks go through and chewed up his impelers!!!

Because the intake on the GT2 comes from the holes in the wing which is a differen't location than the turbo.
