Where does it pull from? Under the headlight or in the cooler duct? Looks good, and it feels good to have 1 off stuff on your car. Personally I go plastic if possible because it doesn't get as hot as metal during heat soak.

Yes Is Pull From Under The Headlight. I Was Thinking About Plastic But It Does Not Look Good At All.

I think you should have put wormgear clamps on intake side and T-clamps on compression side since it is more critical.

How do you read the gauges above the glovebox while driving?

Thats what I was thinking. ****, why spend that much on gauges, then not get the proper pod?

Where are you from originally?

Would you have pictures of the actual intake portion that recieves the air?

If any, what differences did you see in intake temps? I still believe these setups are in question on turbo cars.

Looks interesting. Would like to see better pics. Where is your air filter, and what did you use?

I wouldn't use smaller pipes (reducer coupler) on the turbo inlet...you want that to be as big as possible.

I don't think your cold air gains will out weigh the restriction losses.

I'd like to see some numbers. CAI vs normal intake like apexi. AFTER the air is compressed by the turbos of course.

Hmmm, I thought that was the main purpose of an intake.

Some of you lugnuts should stop busting this guy's ***** regarding the crafsmanship, or lack thereof, exhibited on the cold air piping and gauges. He should be applauded for his ingenuity and for making an effort and taking time to share this with all of us.

"Let me know what you think" apparently takes on a different meaning to some in the Rotary community.

Great work hellokitty812. I wish I could weld, and weld good. Perhaps only then would I have a reason to criticize the work.
