Now I’m not an expert at turbo induction by any stretch, but wouldnt it be in your best interest to seek air further away from manifold heat? Or is it more beneficial to have a shorter ram/filter mounted right to the turbo? ---

Or is it more beneficial to have a shorter ram/filter mounted right to the turbo? from a cost perspective, air filter wins where it is…jim explained to me that it is very expensive for the intake he wants. ---

Honestly, I don’t think having the air filter 2 feet further away will make much of a difference. Either way the air is getting cooked by the turbo and cooled by the intercooler. $20 filter \> $425 intake > [@The AUTOMOTIVE Winter Project Thread](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/the-automotive-winter-project-thread/37948/92): > > Jim, buy welder > > We will make you an intake > > edit: Make sure the pipe you buy is 1/4 steel and the welder a stick… because thats the only thing I know how to weld with :rofl > > Itll be heavy, but itll work! The intake is simple. It’s the new battery tray and mini dry-cell battery required to fit the 4" intake under the hood. ---

Granted as you said doesnt matter all that much but might be a little better? IDK seems like a neat idea ---

So much easier and cost effective to just jam a filter on and call it a day. Eventually I will do the lightweight dry cell and 4" intake, but it is what it is until I have extra cash to burn. ---

I picked the tuner in NC because he specializes in stock bottom E85 SRT’s. I may just get the re-scale and tweak it myself. I can only make +/- 10% adjustments on fuel and timing from the tune I am getting via email. Anything more will require to start from scratch or have it tuned by the guy in NC because it is locked to his shop.
