Narrowed down list for intake and turbo-back, but still can't decide.

ALTHOUGH you should get some kind of tune with EVERY intake.

I said INTAKE and NOT drop-in filter. Intake means open cone filter with some sort of adapter.

I repeat you do NOT need a tune with the Injen. It does not screw your fuel trims like other intakes. If your fuel trims go positive, as they do with all the other intkaes listed in this thread, then the car will run rich at WOT. With the Injen, the trims are contianed at +5 to 7% positive. So the car does not run rich.

Please read the link that I provided, this way you understand what I am saying before you post.

So much false here it makes me sick.

My data is in the link that I posted, go read it. I stand by what I said: The Injen intake does NOT screw the fuel trims. That is why you do not need to tune for it. All others screw the trims to 10% to 12.5% positive. That causes your car to run rich and it might trigger a CEL. It is all about positioning the Hot wire MAF correctly. You will note that all the intakes that skew trims positive have the MAF very close to the cone, The Injen does not. The size of the pipe also matters. Injen got the pipe sizing and the MAF placement correct.

Please go read the link that I posted. What you said does not stand up to the facts.
