They are more effective when the air is pulled through them as there designed instead of pushed through.

Takes a little more tweaking, but it runs just as good if not better when it's pushed through.

what time of engine managmement will you be using? i noticed your gona have a 3'' intake in this kit, i have a 3'' intake and i think w/ the MAF it gave me lots of trouble w/ tuning, I think the stall issue, along w/ the "fantastic" help of the HKS BOV has somthing to do w/ the 3'' intake....leme kno what u guys do on the tune.

I was going to say the same thing about the 3 inch intake. I was waiting to see what management you went with though before chiming in.

^^Something tells me that you might have to go to an engine management anyways, but I'm watching to see the outcome.

smart move on the intake....

i mean i love my 3'' its just a little trouble but its worth it, sucks alot of air......its just that the inlet on my turbo is 4'' so going to a 2.5 inch intake would not be very practical.

haha the intake size of the turbo is actually 2-3/4" so it works out perfect.

The only fabrication left is the hot side intercooler pipe which is about 1/2 done, and the dumptube, then i just gotta install the fuel injectors (in the mail), powdercoat the pipes, put the bumper back on, break in the turbo and let her rip!
