Cobb Tuning intake + box installed

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.

Got any pictures or a walkthrough of the install?

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.

Met up with Alex over the weekend and saw the Cobb intake & box ... must say its much better finish & quality compare to AVO box ...
