Everything we post about has testing behind it.

Nothing is done without reason, maybe some areas were taken too far.


yeah no doubt, the kit looks good, and we can go in circles. Compressed air makes heat, that kit at max is still pushing 8 psi (I think). I still think my experience w/ bigger compressors pushing 30 lbs + is somewhat credible to air flow and heat knowledge relative to a short piece of charge piping

Sal since my post, as well as your reply and at least one other were deleted, care to PM me a response? Apparently asking questions in an open forum is frowned upon here...

Then I suggest you look at even non supercharged applications like the E39 M5.
You will know the IAT sensor located in the MAF will over heat.
That's in a similar position to our boost pipes.

We did start with a hard pipe there. We had our IAT sensor there. We also have a silicone piece with our IAT sensor boss there.

We know the difference.

We don't just for the sake of it do things. A hard pipe is cheaper for us to make. The tooling on the silicone part was more expensive than a batch of 20 hard pipes.

I'm not arguing with you on this point, I am simply explaining that according to my testing I found Silicone to be more effective especially when the engine is being run hard. Normal driving it makes little difference.

If current owners and current orders want a hard pipe - we can supply that instead, it's very very easy to make for us.

If the base kit is performing this well, lets see some 8PSI Data!
