VTT inlets are meant for stage 2+ turbos, so the test is a bit unfair for MMP. VTT inlets can be clamped down, but since the flow was measured from the hoses only, clamping down the VTT's bigger turbo end to fit snug to the smaller than 2+ turbos, means that the true flow of VTT when applied will be even less. In addition, the rear inlet will be crunched in a restriction point when installed, which means further flow restrictions and turbulence. As the independent tester points out: "the larger outlet of the VTT hoses relative to the other pipes is likely a significant benefit to the airflow capacity". Applied to other than VTT 2+ this significant benefit will vanish with clamping this diameter down and VTT will flow even less. Furthermore, some have been complaining about the high pitched noise after installing VTT inlets. I believe some of the silicon hoses have a specific friction and resonance which does not go too well along with a BOV. |

I guess you can't see the difference between that and this: decide your going to make inlets, measure and send some basic measurements to a supplier and have samples made for test fitting until your satisfied with the fitment then decide to go into production. Notify John public. Selll product to undercut competition if your so inclined. Did he do that, no. He undercut the competition without having a product to sell and before even ATTEMPTING to design an inlet. |

Can we see some pics from the passenger side down at the inlets and some of the relo kit?
Are you offering a kit without the filters so we can use our existing DCI filters? Thanks

We had to scrap that idea unfortunately, the OEM location DCI filters are just too large and they don't fit correctly
The car is being driven around for some testing, I'll take additional pictures when we get a chance! |

Would there be any issues with RHD fitment?

I'd say no if this kit is made similar to the TFT kits, and thats without further modifications to make it fit for our RHD platforms

I have yet to confirm 135i fitment but we're working on finding a test car ASAP. |

Will the new inlets be able to support an oil catch can (BMS) style as well as us guys that run diverter valves? Just need to know that and I'm ready to pull the trigger on pre ordering these. Also will a group buy be on the forum as well?

Any chance of a group buy for the inlets? I know the price is low as is but figured why not ask
