Turbo inlet, which one should I get?


Recommended Posts

I know that people claim the OEM inlet is best, but that hasn't been what I've found.

 

With the OEM inlet on the 16g I was struggling to hit 19 psi and we had to throw a lot of wastegate at it to get there.

 

With only changing the inlet I'm spiking up to 21psi before the wastegate gets it all back under control.

 

My impression is the non-OEM inlet makes a huge difference.

Just installed this one on my 05. Seems to have decent enough quality. The top connection was slightly too small and the bpv connection was a bit further than the stock location. This may be because it's meant for the 07-09. Being quite a bit wider than stock, the manifold had to be worked back into place. I would recommend getting a good amount of clamps that wont bite into the silicone, the barbs did not seal very well by themselves. The install wasn't too bad with the manifold off but I imagine it would be quite difficult with it on.
