BFP vs. M7 intake? Scoop safety?
Yeah, yeah, I know I'm beating a very dead horse skeleton, but as of yet I haven't seen dyno performance for either the M7 AGS or the BFP intake setup. The M7 looks interesting, and sounds great from the movie clip they have, but I'm really starting to lean towards just the BFP scoops with Y-tube thing and an ALTA CAI system--cheaper than both, and according to the Webb site, better than either.
Is there proof?
My second question, and the more important question is this: Are the ALTA/BFP and other intakes using those "buckets" with the mesh vents under the wipers safe? I unfortunately happen to live in Ohio, where we see lots of snow and rain. Am I going to have to worry about hydrolock? I've heard a few things from a few people, and I'm not disbelieving, but I just want to be 100% positive before I drop cash just to destroy my engine and have MiniUSA tell me I'm going to have to pay because it wasn't stock.
I noticed that several people are saying that the air pressure in that area is pretty low. Does that mean that water probably isn't going to be flushing into that area? What about snow? Am I going to have to find foam inserts or something during the winter? Swap intakes?
Hell, with all the minor crap I've been having happening to my Mini in under two years, I'm looking really hard at trading it in for a Z3 M coupe....
