The stock intake is good until you start getting into the higher horsepower levels.I'm sure a turbo is sensative to intake restriction but the question is, are our intakes restrictive with a stock tune? If you simply hook up a tuner and tell the Turbo I now want 25lbs of boost and it can hold that boost then I would think the intake is not restrictive with the stock tune. Believe me I so hoped that bolt ons would add power to our cars since I can't justify the CPO warranty going in the wind. My car was bought used CPO with a downpipe, full cat back exhaust, and MAP intake and intercooler. Ford confirmed to me it was a ford factory tune though. I have since replaced all those parts back to stock other then the intercooler. With a few 1/4 mile runs and many 0-60 runs. I see zero performance difference. Personally it seems a a little faster and certainly smoother stock.
