AEM Intake and FP Red?

I'm currently running an AEM Intake and am preparing to and an FP Red in the next few weeks. Will I be able to adapt the AEM intake to the FP Red 3" intake? I like the AEM intake and would like to use it with this turbo if possible. This car is my DD and I perfer not using an open element filter. Any ideas?

I ran into the same issue.

I purchased the Cobb 3" FP Inlet Tube and made a custom mount for my AEM MAF Housing. Then I slapped a cone filter on the end.

You can use the Cobb Inlet with the AEM just fine.

Nope. None at all. I've heard that it's because my filter is so far away from the fans.

I had the same issue - haven't installed. I just sold the AEM and got a full 3 inch intake like ETS or AMS and get one of the couplers swapped to a 3 inch coupler. The alternative was to do what golden did and was to buy a the new COBB 3 inch inlet.

The AEM turbo inlet pipe is tapered down to the stock turbo inlet size. At the top, it's 3". I took a 3" CF pipe from another exhaust, cut the AEM turbo inlet pipe and this other exhaust, then fit them both together. It was a very ghetto fix, but it worked..

I'd recommend just doing either as Golden mentioned or buying a true 3" intake.
