turbo inlet

hey guys just wondering if i should pick up a turbo inlet. I know it will provide for better throttle response n better flow but is it worth the money? I am upgrading to an 18g as well TIA

If you got the money and patience to put it in then go for it. I heard install is a PITA.

the vf39 isn't working for you huh?

I'm torn between the 18 and 16

Get the APS turbo inlet if you do go for a turbo inlet.

Yeah, throttle response and spool up is slightly better. I'd recomend it for any turbo upgrade.

is it still beneficial (worth the money) with a stock turbo?

if so, the BPM inlet + crossover pipe combo is tempting.

Depends on supporting mods, if this is the first mod, maybe not. But, If this is your number one restriction right now, then why not.

If you are pulling the intake hose off for any reason I think it is a great mod.

the only reason I can think of needing to pull the intake hose on and off alot is if the car is a rally car and you need to measure the restricter.

On a after market turbo install I think it is a great move since the intake can start to be a restriction.
