New parts!!!!!

[BobRoss46n2]

My Stage 1 should be back today
and I have a CAI just sitting, open,
next to my tree with care. The
BOV is stored, snug, in the closet
like a bowl full of jelly....

Sunday all new parts should be going
in!!!

SO now thats:

Stage 1
Mopar annoying BOV
K&N CAI ($127 on sale at PWerks)
AGP wastegate

Left to install:
PTP 3" 02 housing
and hopefully a Needswings downpipe with cutout
(C'mon Santa dont let me down!!!).

[Checksum]

need any help with the installs? I have sunday off. I have a christmas party for work at my house at 7 but im free before that!

Make sure you get the reinforcement for the K&N CAI. Those like to colapse under boost.

Reinforcement?
Like a splash guard?

I thought K&N made the Mopar CAI?

Nope AEM does. The K&N had a huge problem with the elbow on the turbo colapsing under boost. You will also need the CAI spalsh sheild as well.

No its 2.5 inches and yes you can get a better elbow. Do some looking around here on the site and see what everyone has recommended for fixing them.

I think all the full cold air intakes are 2.5" except the AGP one. I know AEM is and Mopar and Injen and K&N.

Yes and no. We had the K&N on the car when we went to the dyno to test the version 3 of the SST. Its an OK set up but when you start to get over 280 WHP they really start to give you some problems. There OK if you don't really start to mod your car or turn up the boost.

Nope there all 3" the only that I know of in the industry that is 2.5" is the K&N and one other (no longer avaliable).

Probably the Iceman. Its plastic too.

Well, I'm not sure what HP I'd be throwin
down with what I got but after I install
the O2 housing and DP, I should be 3"
all the way around except the CAI

You will know when it starts to give you issues. Power falls off really bad up top.

i just want to add a second opinion. i have heard numorus times the very same thing about the K&N intakes. they collapse under boost. but car sounds likes its coming along nicely.
