Should I get an intake

Like the post says, should i get one before my street tune with AL on 14 Aug or just keep the stock air box.

If so I was thinking of the Apexi box and filter, APS cold air or ARC. I don't want the HKS RS kit for it's lack of filtering.

The bottom line is that the HKS RS kit is the best intake for making power. I am not aware of any filtering issues.

A close second is the Buschur intake and as an extra benefot its very inexpensive

The ARC one is also good - as is the AEM

I do not recomend the APS as it really seriously distorts the MAF sensor reading. In some cases extra fuel is needed in order to compensate. Just a very tough intake to tune.

The apexi is ok

If you dont like the HKS I would suggest the Buschur or AEM

With the Buschur intake do I have to buy the mini battery if I get the mass air pipe kit?

No, you only need the mini battery for the upper intercooler piping he offers. You can have the filter, or the filter and pipe, with no mods to the car; other than taking out the stock air box. I even kept my snorkle in place.

I ordered the HKS RS kit should arrive by Monday. And from what Al told me, I can't have any fun with it till I get the street tune Aug 14. Three hour ride and no boost to play with, from Dayton up to Buschur racing.

My APS intake works fine. I do have the UTEC so that I can adjust the fueling, not sure how the flash will work with it.
