Performance & Design

This intake system is engineered to maintain proper air/fuel ratios while delivering a smooth, unrestricted airflow path to the turbocharger. The aluminum intake piping reduces turbulence, allowing the turbo to spool more efficiently and respond faster during acceleration.

The included high-flow air filter offers increased surface area for improved airflow while providing excellent engine protection. The result is a more responsive, engaging drive with a refined yet aggressive sound profile.

Easy Installation

Installation is straightforward and requires only basic hand tools such as screwdrivers and socket wrenches. Simply remove the factory air box and install the intake using the included hardware. Most customers can complete the installation in under one hour.

For optimal performance, it is recommended to briefly reset the battery after installation so the engine computer can relearn the increased airflow. Always disconnect the battery before performing any engine work.
