Cold Air Intake

[96talontso]

I need help deciding which one to get; and also i saw this on a website and im wondering if its legit cause i have never heard of it before -- 90-98 Eagle Talon TSi Cold Air Intake with Air Filter - K&N 57 Series AirCharger High-Flow Intake Kit

The picture could be one of those diplay pictures,but if you order this and get the one in the pic that will not work for your car..

It appears to be a non turbo intake pipe with filter..

Thats what i thought as well. I called into their store and the guy said they are down the street from k&n so they get "Exclusive" items... If it is legit think it would be better than just a regular Intake build?

This is what a turbo intake should look like.. NEW 95-99 GST/GSX/TSI 2.0 2.0L I4 TURBO AIR INTAKE KIT | eBay

^^ I dont want to waste my money on a crappy Ebay intake though, Im trying to find the best one possible for my stock turbo. Links please?

+1 on what Bud said and if you also want cold air either you will need to block off the filter from the rest of the engine bay (like with the heat shield in that picture), or if you have a front mount make the filter sit where the smic used to be.

So that ebay intake is good...?

So your one of those guys that wants to 2 spend 250$ on a freaking intake..Which is kinda stupid, considering its a just a pipe and filter..

A cheap ebay intake is just fine..It even comes with the adapter plate..So all you really have to do to make it baller..Is get a k&n filter for it and be done with it..

But if you really want to spend the bookuu dollars heres another link.. DSM Intake Pipes - DSMtuners.com

The eBay intake is fine. It is just a pipe. Kinda hard to mess that up. It's their filters that at garbage.

It's only a pipe man. It's what I have and it works great.

On top of that, you won't see much performance in improvement anyways, but turbo spool and noise from the bypass valve will become louder

 

[96talontso]

would a regular K&N cone work with that one?

 

[Bud92gsx]

You would have ato find a k&n filter to fit your adapter plate..But yes that would be all you need..

Hell you might even spend more on the filter than you do on the pipe..

 

[96talontso]

Hahaha. Thanks for the help bro, much appreciated

 

[Bud92gsx]

Use proper grammar first off, and yes there is a difference between the non-turbo and turbo intake. Since you have TSi check out post #4 by Bud92gsx, his link is like something you'd want. Get the kit off ebay and a nice K&N filter.

I run that same intake as buds link, minus the adapter for filter because it's restrictive. Instead I have a vibriant 4.5" filter with adapter works way better, I've had this setup for years bro.

 

[dsmpusher]

sorry. i dont need a turbo intake. i need cold air. and from where i see it it looks like the intake goes into the fender. so i dont know how to get it out. plus i need a bov port on the pipe as well. i have a 1992 eagle talon tsi

Injen intake with K@N filter is a great combo for the t25!

More like a SEVERELY overpriced pipe for the t25.


@Pusher, you will need to custom make a true cold air intake.

 

[Roberti 2G]

I would go in the ebay pipe and K&N FIPK kit. That filter is a little pricy but very nice kit and worth the money if u ask me. Tou can get the K&N kit on amozon. GLW your choice

, no shit. Get the ebay one. Ive got it, works fine. Pipe is Pipe is pipe

 

[GoCanes777]

I guess im one of those 250$ guys ...I have the injen and like it with my 16g

 

[smokeliss]

I'd go for the ebay one myself. It's cheap and does the job.

 

[Sir Joke]

Go for the ebay set up.

 

[mantega4g63]

I'd go for the Apexi power intake filter, it's a dry filter so doesn't use any oils like the k&n, so it would always say the same strong red color. Any good filter doesn't need to be replaced regardless as long as you check it here and there, I just prefer the Apexi and they're both the same price.
