Cobb Tuning intake + box installed

Postby PAZ04U » Mon Dec 13, 2010 5:38 am

Hey guys,

I got the Cobb tuning intake installed the other day... It didn't really change the power output of the car (maybe it runs a bit smoother and goes a touch better), but you can now hear the turbo when you give it a boot-full and thats what I wanted..

I'm not sure if anyone else felt as if they got more of a power output when they changed the intake?

I'm happy with the Cobb intake looks like a well finished product..

Anyone else installed one of these?

Without a tune, you won't see much of an increase in power, just response and a bit more induction noise.

Intake helps the input of air run more smoothly (smoother intake pipe compared to the ridged crumpled stock one). Throttle response might be a bit quicker, but I wouldn't say it increases any noticeable performance. You might see 3-5kw on paper, but otherwise it's more for noise.

However if you plan on heavy mods, this will help in the overall grand scheme of things.
