I have on order the Alta intake/boost/inlet tube. What are guys thinking I should expect in a hp increase? I already have the Evotech tune if that makes a difference.

 

perhaps quicker throttle response. doubt you get alot of HP.

 

You should get a real nice sound from the intake, as far as hp difference, probably not enough to really notice a difference

 

actually once i installed the alta intake i had a noticable decrease in throttle response in the lower revs (under 2500). but the mid to upper revs were stronger and its sounds amazing.

 

ahh.. but the OP asked about the boost tubes =)

 

 

actually I just noticed he did mention the CAI also.

 

you will definatly notice more high end torque

 

actually its the Alta CAI, boost tube & inlet tube, so its 3 pieces. I BETTER get a little hp from these 3 parts

 

I SEE YOU DRANK THE ALTA DYNO PLOT COOL AID

The intake does sound and look good. You will not get any power just trade a little less bottom end for a little stronger top end.

Intake 0

Boost Tubes and Inlet tube 3

 

i think you should get your car re-tuned when you get the parts installed. itll allow for better flow through everything.

 

I will enjoy the sound. I will probably have it dyno'd before & after to see what the gains are..

 

Once an ECU Solution becomes available (Besides the JCW One) and you raise boost a bit the parts you ordered will help. So eventually it will not be a waist of money.

Do a search and you will find a guy who dynod the Catback, Intake, and Boost tubes and got 4 or 5 HP

 

I already have the "new" Evotech ECU custom tune (the same one that Mini Madness is selling) that I had custom tuned on a dyno. I will probably have them install the new peices and see if a new tune is needed. If so I might do a dyno before and after again to see what the intake system does..
