So what's the verdict on this mod? Any real world number? It certainly looks great but is there a performance benefit on stock turbos?

IMO it has to help a little, with the second snorkle pulling in cold air,

With the GT2 wing it helps even more the inlets from the wing go directly to the snorkles on both sides...it cant' hurt and if you get the non carbon one it's not to pricey.

Verdict is we have sold about 150 of these since this thread was started. You cant show dyno numbers as it would not make sense. The point is to bring in more airflow. A turbo is an air pump. More air in, more air out. They work!

Can one get them in a cheaper material than carbon fiber? I like the idea of better breathability, but I can't justify the cost for CF or weight reduction.

Awesome...I'll have to put this on my wishlist (it will work well with my K&N panel filter).

The box fits, the left snorkel does not need to be used because your left side of the wing should have an opening or what looks of something to be cut out, then you just insert the rubber seal in place.
