The champion one look good but I did not get a response from them when I inquired to buy them.
You have any more information on the custom cone setup you mentioned?Originally Posted by GT-TT
That's correct. There is indeed a restriction there and I believe even stock cars will benefit from bigger inlet pipes. Those carbon pipes hold more air inside and thus give better response even outside the boost range. When spooling start, the begger vtgs are sucking too much air and too quickly for the stock pipes to handle. Actually on my setup even the 9ff ones I have are not up to the task 100%. I know this because when I tried the custom intake system the difference was remarkable.. The champion one look good but I did not get a response from them when I inquired to buy them.
my mechanic's invention.. Skandalis might try them too soon and am sure he ll post impressions. Basically large 30cm pipes with cone filters and MAF sensors on them. Cone filter fits just outside the IC ducts. Turbos go insane with this setup..! Response improved greatly since MAFs go next to the turbos

is this the "fenderwell" setup? I think a few tuners here use something like this on the "bigger" turbo cars.Originally Posted by GT-TT

The guys at BBI Autosport in Huntington Beach CA built this custom setup for me & we went maffless with my Proto tune ,all i can say is she hits really hard & sounds grrrreat.I contacted 9ff ,Techart & Champion about there inlet pipes & got response & prices from all of them but decided to go this route .Not only was it a cheaper way to go but i feel even the aftermarket pipes are restricted if you look at them but these babies have no restriction at all.
hey guys, just an update here. EVOMS was able to get me a pair while my motor was out, just in time before I put my trans back in the car... Along with the inlet pipes, I also am having the plenum and throttle body installed; along with their 775 fine tuning software. All should be back in the car by weeks end, maybe early next week.

Hopefully you can get some pbox numbers to show the benefit of all this stuff.

They share the air from the brake vents & also the stock inlet pipes are cut off next to the cone & feed it air ,you can hear these things sucking air when you nail it.Originally Posted by GT2996TT
twturbo: this setup looks really nice, however, my question is: where does the air come from, for the cone filters to breathe???
