Which intake for gains, sound & reliability?
edition30jmr:
Ended up swapping back to carbonio as 56OctyVRS said it caused tooooo many drive ability issues when the Revo one was fitted! The car kept cutting out when coming to a stop and revs where all over the place, harder starting, loss of low down torque and I felt throttle response was decreased too, not really sure how they can call them a CAI as the tube and filter and heatshield inside was always hot haha!!!!
Oh well we all learn from experience, maybe the intake will perform better at stage 2 or 2+ Who knows but until then I'm sticking to the carbonio and stock system!
Wooosh:
ITG Maxogen FTW! :happy2:

I think you need appropriate mapping and associated hardware to get the full benefit from the Revo at least. Under these circumstances they work without issue at stage 2+.
