Guess ill do some testing when the intercooler from B21 arrives. I think it should be in Estonian customs today. So ill maybe have it on monday or tuesday... I still have OEM airbox in storage so ill swap them back and forth and see how it feels... Maybe even do some logs or acceleration testing.

The argument for slow stop and go traffic say a traffic jam doesnt bother me at all... you cant do strong accelerations, use power in a traffic jam anyway

i do get the argument for a dragstrip idling before a run where milliseconds matter. That is a valid point imo.

For my use case..
1) driving around the town ( town that only has 3-4 traffic lights so i rarely have to stop)
2) highway runs
3) winding backroad runs
i dont really see a problem.

Also if its such a big issue, then why doesnt anyone apart from DINAN offer a closed cold air intake? we have alot of dualcones AFE, BMS, VRSF, ARM, Magnum etc... but nobody offers an intake with piping to the front grilles..
