Can someone explain what the purpose of this mod is? What does it do exactly? Is it for factory JCW or Tuning Kit or both?

Sorry.. just ordered my JCW so just trying to understand what the flaw with the stock design is and why this is better..

Thanks!

 

its an upgrade compared to our stock S tube. The JCW should have it already if i understand correctly

 

I'd have to defer this question to somebody like OrangeCrush who actually knows what they're talking about.

 

how much was the part?

 

I sent you a PM

 

So I stuck on the new inlet tube. I noticed that it didn't come with any rubber sleeves, as shown in the 2nd picture in the initial post. For those who ordered the same thing, did it come with 2 rubber inserts?

 

It only comes with one sleeve which you don't really need anyways since it's too big. The other sleeve in the pic is from the stock tube which you swap over to the new tube.

 

Ok I think I'm getting this sorted out. The new Inlet Tube came with one rubber sleeve, it was attached at the narrower end of the tube, away from the CAI. I can either use the rubber sleeve that came with the tube or use the original one. At the other end of the tube, closest to the CAI, it doesn't require a sleeve.

Correct ???

 

Correct, there is one sleeve on the tube on the turbo side (Better to use the original one). There is no spacer on the MAF side.

 

Thanks much your help! What's a MAF by the way? 'Main Air Filter' or 'Marc Andrea Fleury' of the Pittsburgh Penguins?

 

Mass Air Flow sensor... the big thing inbetween the tube and the airbox. has a harness plugged into it

 

The stock MCS tube is a little soft. The JCW is much more rigid which overts any possibility of collapsing.

If I remember correctly, I think the JCW tube may be a little larger diameter... Someone perhaps can verify this....

I noticed that it's also ever so slightly shorter, but it's also straighter, if that makes sense. In other words a more direct flow. Truth be told though, I never got out the tape measure to compare
