FVD Carbon-Airbox question

Ev and crew... what's the real power increase on this mod? FVD claims 25HP, and alhough it's a pretty mod, isn't that claim a bit agggressive for such?

If not, I'm in

I have no idea what intake you are talking about?? We do not have an intake for the 996TT, only BMC filters...
Evan
EDIT: Just looked on our site and see that stupid BMC CF thing, it says UP TO 25PS meaning on some models it may, but honestly its a piece of crap and doesn't work

A good chunk of people give me **** for promoting a lot, but I am the first to tell someone if somthing doesn't work!! I promote a lot only if i truely believe in the product and feel it is usefull and worth the money!!! I say what I feel (as you can see above ) whether it helps me/the company or not. I was a customer in this business before an employee and know what its like!!
Thanks Oak,
Evan

Evan- is your intake plenum the same as the one offered by speed gallery (reported here a few days ago), as I'm having a hard time finding it on your website.

BTW please say hi to Brian from AJ and ask him how much business Randall from Park Place is sending you.

No. Totally different components.

FVD sells intake piping that connects the air box with the turbos. Gemballa, EVO, TTP and S-Car-Go (among others) sell similar products.

The Speed Gallery "intake plenum" reported here a few days ago is located after the throttle body. Speed Gallary also sells a modified Y-Pipe before the throttle body, and modified intercoolers.
