Intake... true cold air or standard ETS, AEM, etc?

I've only seen a few full intakes that go from the actual turbo inlet all the way where it goes into the fender for more actual "cold air". I have a drop in now and make 330 whp, which one is the best to go for? I currently have a green performance drop in filter.

yeah, I noticed that after I actually looked like I should have to begin with lol. I am going to get the inlet pipe from Agency power later on to go with this... that ribbed condom pipe can't possibly be doing the car much good. We'll see how this piece works out first.

Lol, yea I got rid of the stock turbo inlet almost immediately after I got my car. This intake may actually cover the turbo inlet section as well, but I'm honestly not too sure. Obviously if it does you won't need the Agency Power one. Interested to know how you like this intake after you install it... Keep us updated.

It goes all the way to the turbo? I thought it was just the piping from the MAF down to the front where the filter sits?

No it is the whole intake new maf housing placement and everything. Goes from turbo to filter in the fender down by fog. It is funny, with the windows up it is alot more quiet then my AMS was. The placement makes it alot louder outside of the car than in. So with the windows down it is super loud.
