Well I just finished pulling out my air box and installing the 3" cone filter I picked up at the local import speed shop (Tenzo R). Sure I could have gone Speedparts but not for $25. It took some rigging to get to fit but nothing a trip to Lowe's couldn't fix. The intake is definately opened up much more than even the stock airbox with the snorkel remomved. The Forge shorty gives a nice sound as well. It is very evident that the turbo waits a second to engage and the only negative is that delay Dean refers to. Once the turbo starts, it is at full boost almomst instantly. I have held off on the SMBC because of some pretty knowledgable nay-saying in one of the European forums, but there is definately some knowledgable endorsement here and the lack of initial boost is my main gripe about the car. Dean how long have you been running the SMBC? Has the car had any CEL or limp mode problems? Are you running the SMBC in an auto or manual trans?
