well basiclly all I did was replaced the stock filter box with a cone filter but I tried fitting 3" pipes in but I couldn't make the bends work so I will be going to a muffler shop this week to make me some custom piping but for now I just put the cone filter in and I notice a big difference in aceleration and top end, the intake now has a small roar sound in it now and not only that I now hear the turbo spooling and also I now hear the dv valve making that sputterring noise and sometimes it makes that whisp sound I geuss it depends on the speed I'm going when I'm shifting, if you guys don't already have a intake I really recommend it it's really worth it, I only spent like 20 bucks for that filter at autozone.

those paper filters that autozone sells are really shitty and u are probally are loosin low end

 

this filter is the one made for a cold air intake not the regular filters

 

I did a simaler intake job on my car. I had mandrel bent pieces so I cut them to the angle and lenth i needed, I also say a great inprovement. my air filter is a K&N and sits right behind the lower grill on the right side.

 

thats the same setup I want to do but I'm just scared of water getting into the intake when it rains

 

u can always get a bipass valve for cold air intakes but i think see how those things would really work though

 

yea your right, Flyboy are you using a bipass valve for your intake

 

Yeah, I have a bypass valve. it does work. It is just a flaper valve, when water or anything for that matter blocks the airfilter, the vacume in the intake pulles the flaper valve open and lets air in, saved me on more than one ocasion.

 

can you put pics up on how you did this because after i get a chip i doubt ill have the money for intake and this is prob what ill do to thanks

 

I would but I don't have a digital camera or any thing. also note that I had to weld the different pieces together, about 7 welds. I would rank this amongst the harder things to tackle. plus your gonna need a welder.
