Installed New Intake...Quick Question

[maxperformance]

I have a 95 GST I just put in the Extreme PSI turbo intake, it was very easy to install. The check engine light is off and the car seems to idle a little better. I have a Big 16G turbo, and wow it sounds a whole lot different now with the new intake. And my HKS SSQ BOV sounds different when i let off the throttle (different noise, possibly not as loud). I think this is all a change for the better. But things just sound different, but turbo deffinatly seems more powerfull under 15 psi now! Please give me some feedback of what kind of changes you saw in your car after intake installation. Thank you!

Your results are normal, some may see more gains than others depending on current mods. Most would agree that it was one of thier favorite mods when they started because of the increased spooling noise.

totally different noise, shoudl i adjust or nah? I am just about to get my car tuned with the SAFC II- so i should be running nice. right?

Is it vented to atmosphere or plumbed back into the intake?

Vented Out

Well then I am not sure why it would make a different noise. If if was plumbed back into the intake like it should be (unless you have a VPC or MAFT or Standalone ECU) I could see it make a little different sound because you changed the intake. I would suggest you plumb it back into your intake, then it will for sure make a different sound. As far as adjusting it, unless it is leaking boost or not venting quick enough causing your Turbo to absorb the pressure (really bad for it) there is no need to adjust it.
