Woah dude, not sure why you are getting so triggered by this intake system. I appreciate constructive feedback but if that is your intention you are going about it the wrong way, it seems to me like you are negatively nit-picking the project without having your facts straight.

As for the MAF housing, take a moment to look at my photo, I merely sanded down the edge 1-2mm to help it pair to the adjacent silicone, it's not a significant change. Also, IT IS AFTER THE MAF SENSOR. I don't see how what I did would have any impact on the MAF reading.

I 100% disagree with your statement about N/A vs turbo, turbo motors have a lot to gain with less restriction and the power potential is much greater than an N/A motor.

lol


Sure.




Turbos have more to gain JUST BY TWEAKING THE MAPS. You dont need crazy intake and exhaust mods- just dial up more boost. This part is universal.



Carry on.
