Homemade 6" Air intake, AKA the "whistler", tech write-up
oooo your talking about a stock drop in then right???
53 ******-
Any progress on the intake shield / box? I received my parts order for stage II upgrade. Also the outerwears pre filter fits great. Really need to be pulling cooler air though.
Thanks a bunch.

I Promise I will make 4 shields this weekend

I will have to check cause all 4 may be spoke for already!!!
it wont hurt if you do and wont hurt if you dont.....so???
BTW my TAG is still in my turbo elbow
no oil is needed, it is all dry....
blow it out with 10-20 psi shop air(from the inside out) or shop vac from the outside and call it good
Mine is 4" diameter from the filter to the turbo. I'm all about smooth air flow. Besides, anything bigger than 4" is just a waste and doesn't accomplish anything (except more turbulence and more noise). The turbo inlet is only a 4" diameter opening. Whether your intake tubing is 4" or 8" you're still only going to get 4 inch's diameter worth of air through the turbo.

Test the CFM of a 12" piece of straight 4" pipe, VS. a 20' long 4" dia pipe with multiple bends.. Drastic flow difference.



Just kiddin'.
