Can anyone suggest a really good Cold Air Intake and catless up pipe that will fit my 2004 bl GT.
or explain to me why these items will be a bad idea.
Post up a list of your current mods
Depends on your goals for the cai/car. It won't help performance under 230kwatw, in other words until you have a bigger turbo and the fuel system upgraded - all you're getting is more noise.
Cut the bottom of your airbox out to get a similar effect, stick a higher flowing panel filter in and you've got noise and enough flow for 280atw. That's way past stock engine safe capabilities. A cai can also cause more difficulties during tuning than it's worth.
As for uppipe, could be beneficial, something like the Kobe motosport/grimmspeed? If I'm not wrong, you already have a catless pipe as stock, so not a major gain... just do it when and if you upgrade the turbo.
