Installed JB+ and BMS intake over the weekend. Set the JB+ to 100%. The car runs great! Reminds me of the Dinan tune I had in my 335 coupe, only 1/10th the price. I like the sound of the turbos spooling as well.

Roman, I see now that it was actually you that posted the dyno chart I was referring to when we spoke.

Here's another link to some dyno testing with the so called "hot air intakes". Read and decide for yourself.

Did you read the whole thread? Mr. 5 also tested the DCI against the stock air box and they agreed the DCI made more power in certain situations. I have seen several 1,000 hp Supras and high horsepower Buick GN's at the track and ALL of them had filters right off the turbos. It's funny that they would do that if it made less power. These guys are all about making the most horsepower possible.

When we had our dynojet back in the day, we tested a lot of products like these for companies that rented dyno time. The ways they wanted us to test and do the dyno sessions (in order for there to be a power gain) is purely comical. |

There is another dyno in that thread where they remove the air box cover and the car made an additional 20 rear wheel hp and it wasn't Terry. It was the guy that was contradicting Terry. That sounds like there is air restriction in the factory air box to me. I don't think bypassing the air filter would net 20 wheel hp. Maybe THIS car is different, but the last few cars I owned all made more power with aftermarket intakes. My GT500 made 40 more hp with a Steeda hot air intake. Funny that Ford would make and install a hot air intake (air coming from the engine bay) in the KR and several magazines dyno tested it and made 40hp more. My 2005 Corvette also made more power with a hot air intake. My APR chipped Audi TT also made more power with a hot air intake. My tuning experience has taught me that the factory air box is designed to handle factory power levels. When you add more boost and fuel like the JB+, you need more air. Most of the time the factory air boxes cannot provide the additional air necessary. I have not dynoed this car yet. As I said before, maybe THIS car is different.
