I think what he meant in what you quoted was that the stock airbox is good up until 400-450hp and after that it becomes the bottleneck of your setup if you keep it. Obviously adding an intake that has more surface area and then watching a dyno you WILL see an increase. It does make more power over the stock air-box no matter when you add it.

I believe that's what he meant by it. And that's what I've heard from others as well. Makes sense to me

stock + k&n. Anything else will just make the turbo more audible. I am debating on getting one just to hear my gt35r come to life, but i like the stealthiness of the stocker :P

You will see better results with the HKS and when do more mods down the road it will be more efficient for you with the HKS

There is def allot more noise. My BOV now has a bit of a ricer sound but not too much. I like it but I am sure it is too loud for some people.

Thanks for clearing that up, since we dont know his set-up, I was only being general and stating that. The HKS RS is great and I am putting it in my car now that I cannot run the stock box anymore.
