putting cai on a turbo car

[mp5jeff]

1) With colder air and more air a turbo becomes more efficient. With hotter air, a turbo is less efficient. If you are boosting beyond 10psi on this car, with everything else stock, you are pushing the efficiency of the turbo..

i hope you aren't saying a CAI bring in more air?? you would be wrong...

open element does...sorry...drinking because the bruins lost.

 

[mp5jeff]

oh ok, sounded like you were only defending the cai on all your points.

 

[mp5jeff]

oh well, if people want to waste their money to believe it helps, go for it, but the only thing it will do is lean out the a/f and make the turbo a little laggier, im done arguing about this =)

Done close the thread. Its been discussed way to many times.

1fastmp5, what are you talking about? I have the spool cai, I have never even heard of anyone hitting the fuel cut just from putting on a CAI, thats ridiculous. And it sounds the same as a MSP with a SRI. So exactly when did you hear/see this msp hittin fuel cut after adding a CAI???


Chris

i was running 10psi with the cai and then switched over to short ram.....i felt a difference and havent hit cut since. where as before i would hit it all the time.

 

[NeverSober]

Ok well running 10psi and running stock is a hell of a lot of difference. Becuase you are not just going to hit fuel cut by slapping on a CAI @ stock boost. I ran shortram on my car the other weekend and there was no difference in sound, except the cai was louder.

On Paper..."The colder the better", and with that little ******* IC on the MSP, I would be getting one.

agreed. with a nice fmic, a cai won't help anything exactly. but the tiny stock ic heat soaks so fast, i'm sure it appreciates any help, no matter how small .

Yup. Once I get an upgraded intercooler the Injen CAI is being converted into a SRI.

So we all agree that the Intercooler is really the problem on this particular car...

Yipee, Finally!!!
