Hey guys, Billet Design has been pretty busy (twin turbo Ferrari project). I'll find out today if the SRI will go into production or not and let you guys know.

You are right about colder air being better; however, A CAI will NOT get colder air to the engine. The turbo is going to heat up any cold air you get to an amazingly hot temp. Just look at your turbo at night after you boost (glowing red turbo). If you want colder air try a good FMIC or a C02 sprayer for the stock IC. I dont know if it happens to the MSP but a few other turbo'd car I have seen have problems with the MAF in a CAI. Has anyone on this forum tried Dyno runs with stock/CAI/SRI ? That should help out a lot for this subject...
Just my 0.02 cents

Yeah I think we need some objective tests and numbers to see what the differences are...
And Insidous, if you could convince Billet to fab a nice heatshield, that would be cool....They can borrow my MSP and just give me that Twin Turbo Ferrari as a loaner..

agreed with scoobiesport. all the turbo cars ive seen or read about, mainly DSMs, Hondas, Subarus and a few others r the same with the warm air intake.

Some think that the MSP with its smaller IC and heatsoak problem justifies a CAI over a SRI...we need some temp measurements from both setups
this is mainly for convenience, not because of no performance gains. intercooler piping (or something else) usually takes the place where a cai would go, so they just go with short ram. this is true for dsm's, and off the top of my head i can see that it holds for other engine bays that are cramped. whether gains happen using a cai on a turbo car is a hot topic in some circles, and i have yet to see actual results.DevilsSi1481 said:

BUMP!
Once again, will buy if heat shield is included.

Bump!
And question, what's the diam. of the piping on the side that the MAF hooks up to and the side that mounts to the turbo. Just trying to get an idea this compared to the injen and air/flow, yadda yadda yadda.

Even better...I went to the site & posted in the forum as a guest. They already had a thread about it, but it only says what the initial post on here said. Hopefully that will get their attention.

Still no word on if it will go into production yet, I will let you guys know as soon as it's decided. There wasn't a lot of initial interest it seemed, as many said they would rather have a CAI for some reason. As far as the headshield goes, I do not think it will make a significant difference to warrent one. I think the filter sits in a relatively cool location. Remember guys, we have a turbocharged car, the air leaving the very hot turbo will probably be the same temperature before it goes through the intercooler.
How many people right now are interested in buying the short-ram intake? $195 without heatshield?
