My view on opti-coat still hasn't changed, I will be getting my yearly inspection in March so I will raise my issues then.Bumping this thread
Would be interested to hear if you have any more thoughts on your modes. Especiall how the Gtechniq is holding up and if the Opti-coat is still getting 7/10.
I don't see how that would be an issue with our closed bonnets?I'd love to give the Blue Power CAI a shot, but unfortunately living in the tropics with heavy monsoonal rain, an open filter like that is completely out of the question for me.
Perhaps even more-so with pinched bonnets? Lol. I've read on here somewhere that it can get reasonably wet under there in heavy rain/ large amounts of water on the road, I just don't want to risk the pod getting flooded with dirty water and road silt. Perhaps I can have an individual Blue Power setup for the dry season?I don't see how that would be an issue with our closed bonnets?
It is a custom intake tube, I might be incorrect but it would have to be near flooded to affect the power output. Your other option would be a closed top airraid or corsaPerhaps even more-so with pinched bonnets? Lol.

Does it use the standard intake tube or a new custom one?
Might even just give it a shot and see what happens in the wet, best way to test it I guess? I can't remember if bluepower's CAI required a tune or not though?It is a custom intake tube, I might be incorrect but it would have to be near flooded to affect the power output.

Their CAI doesn't require a tune, they are getting great gains ~16rwkw without tuning.Might even just give it a shot and see what happens in the wet, best way to test it I guess? I can't remember if bluepower's CAI required a tune or not though?
I've got the new Mishimoto intake tube, which made a noticeable difference and was a great/ easy little mod. I've also got a Livernois/Airaid CAI box sitting here that I'm yet to try out as well.
Definitely, would be good to compare some IAT's and butt-dyno recordings between all of them. I don't actually sit in traffic that much so I don't think IAT's are really as big a concern to me now as they were initially. Apparently the Livernois guys were getting some pretty good results with the top cover lid removed from the CAI box too? Will have to get in contact with blue power as well!Their CAI doesn't require a tune, they are getting great gains ~16rwkw without tuning.
You should give them all a try and see what works for you in that climate. I think we would all be interested!
