the only thing i dont care for is the top mounted intake. its cool, but i'd be afraid of that filter getting soak constantly.

do you have any other mods?

these are b**** to install.. thats what ive heard.. theres cutting etc.. involved.. if you wanna go simple get a tmic.. but,the other problem with these.. you limit what kind of intake you can have etc.. maybe the bov too?? i forget..

If you going to pay that much for a front mount just buy the CPe. I did and it was a smooth install. Its takes a few hours but it has awesome quality. Best you can get out of the kits available.

corksport is also awesome quality. i have one but i did without their intake and custom fabbed it to work with a cobb sri. it did involve some cutting and what not but i got the kit used and for a good price so i am not worried. been using it for almost a year now and its proved to be real good. also with this kit you don't have to remove the front lip like cp-e and have an ugly looking medal shroud show.

Where did you have to cut to make it fit?

 

[bova80]

the pipe that is under the filter where the long coupler is. all i did was cut it on a weld.

this is how i had it before i cut the pipe, i had an extension on the intake but this put it close to the coolant hose so it had a lot of heat soak.

maybe im too new to this, but that just seems like a lot of money for a fmic, am i wrong??

 

[bova80]

but you are getting more then just the fmic. you are getting an intake and a turbo inlet.

That's what makes it so appealing to me. You could technically say it's a ram air set up (yes, redundant, I know) since it's bringing in air that's being forced under the hood to where the TMIC used to be. Plus, you can't beat Corksport quality

 

[bova80]

and despite it sitting right on top of the engine, it actually fights heatsoak quite well.

Thanks for all the input what about the filter/intake getting wet? any problems with that?

 

[bova80]

no you shouldn't have any problems with that. corksport tested that by running the car through a car wash and experienced no problems.

 

[baja2700]

did they run the car through the car wash at highway speeds?

 

[bova80]

ha no, but i never had a problem when i did run that intake and i have never heard of anyone else who had the problem.

I live in the tropics and it rains a lot, and have no problem with the filter geting soak.

It is a big mf intercooler, I run it with a GT3071 and it's a charm. Btw I bought it used from bova.
My 2 cents.

Dam booster didnt know the Speed6 made it to PR... Was there for ten days Dec 5-14th n saw only 2 Mazda6 cars while there...Both in the condado/Isla Verde area. I was all over the island as I put over 1100 miles on the rental Jeep Wrangler Unlimited in that time....
