#73499, "is 2.5" intake enough for a 14b with 10psi??"
i have a 14b on my car and a custom cold air intake for it sucking air from right in front of the tranny...its 2.5"... when im pushing the car it seems to have no top end in 3rd gear and up.....im thinking im not getting enough air through the turbo...but my a/f readings dont tell me that, although i never believe them.... anyways, has anyone else had this problem, is 3" going to help me, or do i even need to go bigger than that? thanks doug

A kinked up exhaust would more likely cause boost spikes which have the opposite effect of loosing power. What does your boost gauge say? Are you maintaining max boost all the way through your upper gears? If not then you may have a boost or exhaust leak.
