I have injen intercooler piping and wanted to know which intake would be the best for my setup. Or does it matter?

 

I used a forge (samco) silicone intake on my vw and it was awesome. The injen intake however, made the evo run like garbage.

 

On stock turbo there really is no need in changing the pipe unless you want to run speed density

 

I thought it would make the air flow smoother since the stock is ribbed. So I'm assuming the samco is better since it resembles te stock intake

 

I have ran the stock pipe, Perrin pipe, JMF pipe, and now STM speed density pipe. Unless going speed density on stock turbo I would save the money. I did not see any benefit from running anything but speed density.

 

I don't know how to tue for speed density nor do I want to pay for a tune

 

dont mean to hijack the thread but i was wondering if the samco pipe was worth getting ?
i have cams, tbe, hks pod, LICP etc.. tuned.... pretty much the only thing from intake > exhaust that is still stock is the rubber pipe ?
is it worth it to change to samco or will it really make no difference at all ?
only reason im considering samco is cos silicone > metal inlet pipe messing with my maf sensor ??
edit: i have a evo9 turbo in my VIII
should i get the samco or just keep my stock rubber ?

 

Keep stock pipe

 

If there are no gains to changing the stock licp then why does it tell us that we will get gains from switching in the stickies? That should be edited.

 

This thread is about intake pipes not about lower intercooler pipes

 

I kept the injen it seems to make more power

 

...ya there are?

 

stock intake tube + open air filter, and call it a day. The metal intakes disturb the harmonics that the maf sensor reads. Speed density doesn't rely on the maf to determine the load on the engine, so that's why you can run whatever intake pipe you like. The restrictive part of the stock intake is the filter box/scoop, not the pipe.

 

so your saying I should run the samco intake pipe since it resembles the stock intake tube?

I have it for sale, if its a little better than the injen I would rather sell the injen intake then

 

Shoot sorry, I thought this was about intercooler piping. I saw a side by side of fp's air intake tube next to the stock one and it was a lot wider.
