Opinions on different inlets

Silent9n54 · 10-30-2018, 01:13 PM

im about to do an oil pan gasket and thought it might be worth installing inlets while most of the stuff is out the way.

i just wanted to get some more info on different brands and sizes of inlets , benefits of relocated inlets ( what needs to be relocated ) etc.

im running stock turbos with downpipes, 5 inch fmic and dci

thanks

Stock location is good, I modified the front inlet to run where the vacuum cannisters were. Simple mod, I have mmp.

I got the vrsf stainless steel passenger side inlets. They sound awesome but the hose that came with it to relocate the coolant reservoir was an air hose and it became brittle over time and leaked at the barb. Im not sure if they still use the same hose but easy $5 for a new hose and 15 mins to swap it.
