EXTREME PSI : Your #1 Source for In Stock Performance Parts

Any thoughts on this item? would there be any gain from a 3" pipe VS. stock?

Thanks in advance!

Same part is cheaper from Bullseye, by the way.

You'd notice a performance gain with a larger-than-stock turbo, but with the stock turbo there's probably not going to be much of a difference....unless you count the turbo being louder as having "more power".

Not gonna be much change over stock on a stock turbo, Especially a t-25. Might free up a few horses. The stock airbox is gonna be more restrictive though, just getting one of those maf adapters and a K&N cone filter would be a bigger gain.

That pipe is perfect for say a 20g in a 3" housing though.

It appears to be a direct-copy of the Greddy intake pipe which came in the original Greddy 18G upgrade kit a long, long time ago. It's designed for MHI turbos using the cover with the 3" inlet, like some 18G's and 20G's....but would work fine on others with the correct silicone reducer.

That was a kit that came when you bought the turbo. Also, as a side note, the Greddy intake pipe is not like the Bullseye intake pipe as the MAF side is made to fit (Oval shape just like the 2g MAF) and it has 2 fittings on the side on top of the recirculation fitting. I have the Greddy one, hence why I know.

^ Great info; I was unaware of the differences as I've not seen an actual Greddy pipe....just the photos where they look similar aside from the recirc fitting location.

Actually, extremepsi has a whole intake kit. I would recommend you save up and get that if you want to see a few horses get added to your setup. You will see more gains in the sense that the stock intake pipe is probably gunked in thick oil and sludge - also be sure to add a fuel fitler or catch can to the hose that goes from the valve cover to the intake pipe and lastly clean the intercooler. You should notice increase in spool time, better throttle response and better sound with this kit intalled along with the supporting mods I explained.

I am certainly not saying cheaper is better, but it is an option. I have this kit from ebay and it has worked great. I wouldn`t say I had any significant gains but it looks and sounds better than the stock air box and tubing. I am slowly upgrading from stock. I have ordered from extremepsi.com before and there service was great, so either way you would be good to go in my opinion. Something to think about.

I bought that one, prices have sure jumped up for it though, when i bought it it was 50-55$ i believe. Its good quality except the couplers. If you plan to have it long term, invest in some different couplers, the turbo coupler is splitting on my setup after only 5 months.
