UTEc and aftermarket intake?
I was about to buy the Turboxs air intake but i was wondering if it is worth it? or should i just stick with the stocker and the UTec.

It depends on the time you want to take to do some tuning.. Aftermarket air intakes have an effect on the MAF readings and can throw your tune off requiring a bit of tuning.
