If your worried about price vs hp then scratch it off your list. Its technically a DCI enclosed in a carbon fiber box to keep out hot engine bay airtemps and heat soak for colder ambient air temps so the turbos can run more "efficiently" which many stand alone DCI setups lack

Turbos that runs more efficiently with better duty cycle will not have to work so hard to produce boost as a turbo lacking it using more duty cycle

You will probably get the same gains as a DCI, but power on this setup will come much more earlier though in the RPM band

I haven't completed my review yet, but I am very satisfied with how it's performing and I am no fan of DCI setups.

So if your looking for price vs HP, then take it off your list as said before. If your looking for early power gains, and efficiency then this intake is well worth it.
