Very enlightening YouTube video. Any thoughts? It pretty much busts the benefits of a CAI on turbo cars.

Did you see the install/dyno of the MAP?My experience using a CAI on other vehicles has not been very positive other than the cool sound it makes. For this vehicle, I will spend the money elsewhere.
I agree.. unless im standing right there while they install it and dyno it i dont believe it! That said some of the CAI are very sexy and add a wonderful look and sound to an engine bay. but in today's performance cars stock intakes are already CAI systems.. Sometimes when you replace them with aftermarket you can lose power too.Did you see the install/dyno of the MAP?
Its not only power but torque ratings also people look for. I agree some can loose power but again it has to do with building the car for what you have done to it.I agree.. unless im standing right there while they install it and dyno it i dont believe it!

Not really.. Tunes from reputable companies you can feel the performance. Same with a bigger Turbo. Ive bought plenty of CAI on alot of my cars and never noticed anything other then a better look and sound. A good Tune you can actually feel. If CAI were $100 bucks id buy one. But for $399 or so id rather put that money towards a good Tuner, bigger turbo,exhaust, intercooler and down pipe! But hey to each there own!If you don't believe it then I guess you won't be buying any after market parts? Unless you plan on travelling to each shop and watching them dyno the part on a car? C'mon man....
$235 shipped for MAP CAI...very nice quality and at least on my butt dyno I can feel a little more torque with COBB tuneNot really.. Tunes from reputable companies you can feel the performance.
