wussup people im considering buying a apexi power intake and i was wondering the usual power gains for a stock to midly modified turbo 2

I think it's something like 3-5hp. Makes the spool sound REALLLLY nice too though.

i bought one, but havent installed it yet.. only have a ghetto cone filter w/ adapter plate on the MAF and yes, it sounds amazing. i cant wait for the proper apex'i one though. the heatshield and proper mounting brackets give me a chubby.

anyone know any sites that sell these?

No clue, but I love my Apexi, and I love hearing my spool up and wastegate blow off...

Is there anything else to the intake system other than just the filter?

Heat shields and mounting brackets.

And the adapter plate

i installed my apexi power intake now when i let off the gas when im in boost im getting a kind of rumble noise from the intake. my friend had the same problem on his mk3 supra and he said he adjusted the bov and it fixed so should i adjust the hks ssqv to resolve the problem

iscoleobo and lachean posted 2 posts up what comes with the intake kit.

Lachean, the noise you are hearing is the BPV, not the wastegate. The wastgate does not "blow off," and when it opens it just sound like exhaust (nothing more, nothing less).
It is not something you would ever hear in the intake.

I love the Apexi Intake. I really felt a difference in off the lince acceleration and It makes my car sound nice with the headers I installed recently. These things can get pricey though. I bought 2 Brand New ones for $110 shipped from ebay.

Don't you have a NA?

SILVERROLLA · 12-08-2004, 12:42 PM

Yep. My model is the N/A. If it will make a difference for the N/A, imagine te difference with the Turbo models. I just bought 2 so just incase something goes wrong with the other one or so IU can put it in my other cars later on

Turbo is different than NA. The turbocharger makes up for the pressure lost in the intake plumbing. Gain for turbo is minimal.
