Hey guys! I tinkered around a bit and ended up with a great home made Cold air intake. Still a work in progress as i want a heat shield, but so far well worth the $80 and hour it took!
Took off all the stock silenced and what i considered to be restricted plastic pieces, and replaced with a solid aluminum tube. Hard part of the install was getting the oval elbow that's attached to the turbo, to form and fit on the 3 inch circular pipe! just needed a touch of water to finally slide it in!
Here's the results!
I also removed alot of the Motor silencing rubber that rests on top of the motor that serves no purpose except to sound deaden, and my engine cover!
Overall havent noticed a gain in any power or fuel economy, but i think theres a quicker spool up time and throttle response!
Best of all is it sounds AWESOME!!!!!! Love hearing a turbo again!!
Matched my 3 inch outer diameter x 18 inch long aluminum pipe with the stock flex piece with the factory MAF i believe, then fixed a K&N filter to it!
ALL under $80 (canadian).
