Question about Turbo Inlet Pipe and Intake

[supracelica32]

so, i've been looking at the TIP on corksport and i'm kinda confused about it.
is it an intake or do you get the TIP when getting an intake?

i've been trying to search and figure it out but never found an answer. if anyone can explain it to me better, that would be great.

thanks
michael

The CorkSport Mazdaspeed 6 Short Ram Intake system replaces the stock airbox and turbo inlet pipe with a high flow CorkSport air filter and turboinlet pipe for a good looking and affordable price.

It doesn't get simpler than that.

but cold air and and inlet gets more HP..

so you can get the TIP and mate a CAI to it?

i realized that the coksport SRI was basically just the TIP with a filter after i posted the thread.

There are a lot of threads on this forum that cover the debate of an SRI versus a CAI. Many people say you will get more HP from a CAI. I can tell you from my experience with NA race engines and with this FI engine that a CAI is nearly irrelevant versus an SRI. The difference will be 2-3 peak horsepower (crank, not wheel) at nearly double the price. Intake air temperatures (IATs) are not particularly relevant on low-displacement forced induction engines.

Good performance improvements are seen through focusing on lowering your boosted air temperatures (BATs) instead. Some argue that you can lower BATs by having lower IATs. However, results have shown to be quite arbitrary (i.e. 2-3 peak crank horsepower).

Save yourself the extra money from the CAI and the money you'll have to pay for a hydroshield and go with an SRI. You won't regret your decision.

thanks. that helped out a lot.
