cobb turbo inlet INSTALLED!!!!

[RC08MS3]

its all personal preference on what kinda quality you want. i Have a CP-E inlet, and not to brag or nothing but to me its made a little better than the cobb. they have the same function, but the CP-E has metal vavuum nipple and the mounting tab, while the cobb dosent. the CP-E also has the tappers on the metal cuplers to hold the piping together better. idk, all personal preference.

with that in mind i also have a CP-E intake, so why not use the advantage of having 3" compared to 2.5. you may say it makes no dif now, but if you go to tune or mod even more it might have a gain, too early to really know yet.

I just ordered one of these last night. I have the Cobb SRI and right now the Corksport intake and inlet installed. I'm going to see how the Cobb SRI/Cobb inlet combo feels compared to the Corksport and sell whichever I like less.

I can't help it... buying parts is like a disease.

+1 on the "you're missing two clamps" sentiment.

Don't forget the CP-E also has the support mount on the top where the cobb one does not.

When you can could you put up the gains from this. I am still unsure whethere I want to spend the $160 for this or if I should be putting that money to other mods instead. What would you guys suggest?

 

[DaleNixon]

Do it McFly. I haven't dyno'd this mod, but I can definitely feel the turbo spooling faster. This is one of the most noticeable mods I've done, although I may have fixed a boost leak with it.

I would get the Forge BPV first, same price.

Next would be the motor mount and shifter bushings. You will need the Motor mount to keep your wheels from hopping and potentially damaging something.

this inlet a beast =) faster, louder spools, definitely better then the stock inlet

seems like EVERYTHING on this car when changed is better than stock I think there is a trend going on(rockon). Mazda put some bad pieces on different places of this car.

im thinking about getting this part but in black. i already got the cobb intake with black tubing. so you basically just take out the battery and then everthing is easy to get to? i know you guys said its pretty easy to install but i just want to find out exactly how easy it is.

 

[DaleNixon]

I wouldn't call it easy. Getting to the clamp that secures the factory inlet to the turbo is a horrible PITA.

You can do it, just be prepared for some frustration and creativity when trying to reach way back there.

mazda speed forums.org has a nice writeup showing what you're in for.

Does anyone else besides me see the intake air temperature at higher levels sitting in traffic after the inlet install?

maybe its not sealed properly some where and your sucking in heat from the engine. I would check for leaks.

Ya, logically it doesn't make any sense that IAT's would go up as the temp sensor is part of the MAF sensor and it's upstream of the inlet.

 

[fructus]

According to Cobb install instructions a post MAF leak would cause erratic idle. I don't have this issue. All the clamps seem to be secure.

Oh I have about 4 different extensions. They made it easier, sure, but it was still a tough time.
