+1 on the same question.

I've not run the APS turbo inlet pipe with the stock air box though I can't see any reason why you could not. I would always recommend that you at least check the afr on a wide band after any air inlet or turbo inlet pipe install, just to be safe.

Yes, of course.

Fits with all APS air intakes, that's for certain.

Massive air flow and power gains on STI's with larger turbos.

There's nothing standard about the size of the APS turbo inlet pipe, it's the only true 73 mm ID turbo inlet pipe on the planet as far as I know. The stock STI turbo inlet pipe is just 55 mm thorugh the ID of the flexible section.

The turbo inlet pipe wil fit with the stock TGV components with either the stock turbo inlet or a 3'' inlet.

Can you explain what all the extras are for?

I don't have time to do this, I will post the install instructions before the end of this week, this should provide all of the info that you want.

Not sure about this. Maybe one of the APS dealers will some time in the future though demand is so great for this part right now, it's unlikely in the near future.

Thanks for those kinds words. As there are so many power reading variables from different brands/types of dynos (inertia or load based dynos) yet alone many multiple combinations of tuning parts we won't boither with dyno graphs right now as the power graphs would only be relevant to those exact tuning parts and fuel octane.

This is great news Peter. It will save some money on going this route for some of us that were hesitant to go with 3" inlet because of extra work, and expenses.

[Pitcherman]

thanks for the quick answer....looks like this will be giong on the list

[PSMBoXer]

Definately on my list ... now hurry up and finish the DR 525's so I can get one soon too

[VSGTS14]

wow not having that extra work for TGV is great..

wow....3" fp20g here i come.
