What are the realistic gains for a intake and tbe? Trying to decide if it's worth it or not. I like the Arc induction box

 

What ever gains you get it's more than you will have stock so yah it's worth it.

As for how much gain that all depends on what brand TBE and intake you decide to install they will all give you different gains,some more some less.

 

yes the gains will be much worth it i would read the modding for beginners thread and also take a look at the filter test shootout thread. those are good informative threads.

 

Gains will be minimal until you get a tune and up your boost. Skip the intake though. Just cut out the stock lid on the airbox and there you go.

 

Without a tune, the intake is pretty much useless and the TBE is lucky to get you 10-15whp, if you're lucky, not to mention the likely negative effects on driveability. If you get a tune, that will change for the better.
