R56 Custom intake and Cold side charge pipe video

I just got done putting this video together for Oxspeed site, and I thought I would debut it here. It was originally just going to be an intake install but I decided I was going to do something about the massive restriction that never gets addressed. My goal was to get rid of that ridiculous cold side charge pipe. From the inside the thing is shaped like a seals face. I don't have any numbers to back it up, but I guarantee were losing flow because of it. So in an attempt to do something artistic, I filmed my self with the GoPro and sped it up 16x. Let me know what you guys think.

Nice video! Are there any other modification on the car to achieve the 240 hp gain? What was the stock hp? Thanks for sharing.

Stock Hp was the typical mcs 160ish to the wheels. This car lovingly reffered to as the OX is setup with all of the normal boltons I,E,FMIC.... etc. but what set's it apart is the hybrid turbo..... and some sweet red and black pipes :D.

Yes...here's a new pic. I'm up and down Mountain Road every day so I certainly have no excuse not to stop by.


Cold and foggy

srry to bump an old thread! but im planning to build my own intake! and i noticed you attached an OCC (Oil Catch Can) and it didnt go back to the turbo inlet, is it in that corner attached to a breather?? is so, that might help me figure this out!

Thanks in advance!
