I took my front bumper off this last weekend and was curious to see if I could get a CAI system working there. There is a tiny hole gap between the IC pipes maybe for a 2" pipe or something. Does anyone have a CAI setup with there turbo kit and if so could you post pics and perhaps a method of doing it. I guess with any CAI you need that AEM bypass valve huh? Can you get those seperately or what? Any help is greatly apprieciated.

You don't need no gay aem bypass valve. Thats only if you drive through puddle that submerge the filter. A little water may be good for your turbo, cool it down hehe.


Grrr it's gonna eat you up!

...with my star kit with no intercooler and it worked a little. The reason being that the cold intake charge is sent straight up to the engine. Now with an intercooler you are already cooling the intake charge. You want to keep the intake charge hot as possible in order to keep it flowing fast. The cold air with the I/C is sorta redundant and i think counter-effective. Plus I got the whole BOV stutter with the intake pipe stuck on the compressor.
