Default Any1 used a power pipe intake on a turbo?
Just wondering if there is any power gain in using a power pipe style intake pipe on a boosted car? like the one in the pic.If it makes a difference on a n/a then wouldnt it help a F/I too?

LOL, I just recently saw that for the first time. That thing is ------- hideous. It's HUGE!! I think you will have a hard time finding a spot to put that thing.

Do those things actually work? It just seems silly to me.

it wont help anything on a FI car, because it has to compress more air in that big *** opening.
