A lot of people often pick the simplistic look of the turbo guard and the perception that it’s more open and flow friendly than an inlet. The team over at Mak Performance and @AdrianMAK recently released their new larger hurricane inlet for Procharger systems so I got my hands on one to get some data on it.
Figured the best way to test this would be hood closed so instead of a dyno I took it to the draggy backed by a log. 2 60-130 hits in similar weather same distance from the house to not give one an edge over the other. Below is screenshots of the weather data (DA was actually worse during the inlet on test), the 2 draggy hits in 3rd gear from 55-58mph so no run up and no possibility of spin, slightly over 1/2 tank on both setups. Car saw same timing on all runs.
In summary with Mak’s new 4.5” inlet the Procharger saw more air load and a little over 1psi of boost more compared to the turbo guard Maxx and was about 3 tenths faster 60-130.
