You have to see it to believe it.....they put an obstruction inside the pipe. it looks like a half moon and it blocks a lot of air for whatever reason....

 

Flipped my maF upside down and cut out half moon and no difference in how Typhoon runs. I bought the thing a while ago before anyone knew it was crap. I have made decent power though after tuning with AFC II, but just putting it on with no tune was horrible. Car constantly was stalling in stop/go traffic, hitting boost/fuel cut, and overall felt like it was making less power than stock. Would not recommend to anyone and getting a replacement soon.

 

I'll be taking mine off right now

 

Everybody that has one should call them to complain......they have to change designs

 

ha, proof that, that intake sucks.. i said that 2 years ago when i had it on my 03, and ran a 13.7 with it on the car.. stock box is better..

 

The Hallman MBC is a great product

I fell in love with the Forge MBC as soon as I saw it and never looked back

 

How did you guess???? I wanted to send that dyno sheet to the recycle bin - head for McDonalds and disapear!!! A few hours later and we had it running real good

 

I have no idea how they made it suck so badly - it must have taken a special effort to screw it up that bad - but I have seen them sucking bad for a long time

This car was especially bad - in fact the worst I have ever seen

 

so do you say with your tuning, there is hope for restoring that lost hp? because i dont wanna have to throw away this intake and put the stock back on

 

The Typhoon is trickey and usualy takes hours of custom tuning to mail it

I am still not confortable doing mail in flashes with that intake
BUT - then again everything is better than the way it runs on the stock tuning !

 

WOW Al, you did a really nice job cleaning that up and tuning it! It's like a night and day difference.

I am very impressed, great job and the tune!

 

Al you can tune the snot out of these cars!! You have done a lot in a little time...your achievements are commendable.

 

159 whp on the base run?!?!?! wtf??

 

I bet when he wakes up and removes that turd intake his tune is gonna be funky til it's retuned

 

well i live in cali, and id LOVE to get custom tuned by you, my buddy ben with the red evo has a appt with you i beleive, but i was gonna wait until after i get all my mods in order, like exhaust MBC things like that.. it sucks that you dont live out here, cuz id rather have u tune my stuff rather then mail in flashes.
