I have the AEM and I don't know if it added any significant power but it certainly sounds cool.

Do you mean a little boost of speed or a little boost of PSI?

I did a little "ghetto" tunning on my own using nylon mesh inplace of the stock elemet. I ran on a clear,clean day as this mesh will not stop anything smaller than sand and yes, I went back to stock asap to protect my turbo blades. Besides the noise level, I could detect no differences at all. To add a little perspective, I can really feel the diff between 91 and 98 octane fuel. Stock seems fine for a stock car. If anyone has empirical data to support a power gain from an other wise stock car, please post.

If you like the stock set up and haven't done that much modding why not go with the K&N drop-in filter? Thats what i'm using in my car and haven't had any problems with it. Its a better filter than the stock one, uses the stock cold air box and doesn't messes up the MAF sensor.

no i mean a little boost on the top end, like more power, you were the one who said it had more go up top cody. CAN YOU HEAR ME???

i like these 3 HKS Kansai carbon duct set, ARC induction box, and the BLITZ carbon suction kit and i know, i know, y'all want pics so here's a link to the pdf http://www.blitz.co.jp/new-product/2004/2004-0058.pdf

I am not diasagreeing with you. It def. has more power up top. However, the word "boost" can also mean something else when you have a turbo car.

HKS I would agree flows higher volumes due to its less restrictive foam design, however this also means allowing other things into the intake tract, directly into the turbine.
If you do a search, there is a link to a comparison of four major intake filters: A'PEXi, Blitz, HKS, and K&N. In a turbo Nissan Skyline, the HKS collects the most dust and makes the least power gain. The A'PEXi comes out best in both areas.
I have the A'PEXi. It sounds great and the car has much better top end. I think it leans out the AF ratio.
