Intake vs Stock air box

[Ron@cp-e]

you've left out the underhood "look"
OEM anything usually isn't eye candy
aftermarket intakes also look great

the JLT color matches their inlet pipes
Airaid, MAP, fftec, etc
all look awesome in their own way vs. the OEM box

I like to mod everything...always have
even "if" the power bump is negligible, but I get sound and visual appeal....it's worth the buy IMO

Why yes sir I did . A lot of people wont know the difference. lol

Well then great. This thread is about making power not sound.:cheers:

I'd say it was more about you scolding others who bought an aftermarket intake.

Most of us who bought one without a tune were not expecting drastic differences.

Who cares? IS the skin that thin?:eyebulge: I was implying to not waste your money on it for performance.

Trust me, I don't care at all. [emoji6] It was money well spent and I'd do it again!

Just in case you haven't seen them yet, here's a couple pics of our turbo upgrades to compare. The stock turbo looks like this;

One of our small turbo upgrade (BW EFR 7163) looks like this;

Our big turbo upgrade (BW EFR8374) looks even more radical!

I highly recommend one of our intakes too, they fit the stock turbo as well as both of our upgraded turbo kits.

Hey what's up! Yes I still have my 92 Talon. It's fully built, caged, runs on AEM with a 6466 turbo. It's absolutely insane! There's nothing like an AWD car that can spin all 4 when doing a second gear roll-on at 50 MPH!

The 2.3 EcoBoost doesn't really have an exhaust manifold. The stock turbo bolts directly to the head. It's odd, the turbo was extended a little and the head was designed to merge the exhaust ports together. I'll see if I can find some pics.

But yes our turbo is a direct bolt-on. PM sent!

I will need an accessport as well.

No prob. We have those as well. They're priced competitively of course and come with your choice of tune.
