Thanks to Stephen Max for the pipe and lots of information, I got around to installing my CAI today.

Haven't gotten a chance to see if it changed my peak boost, but the car seems a tad more responsive down low. I didn't really expect much with the stock pully.

I also took out my foglights because the passenger side one was broken, and they don't do any good with the HID's. Figured the extra air flow couldn't be a bad thing.

 

 

Got a chance to hit full boost on my way into work this morning. The car feels a ton faster, and for good reason! I hit 8, maybe 8.5 psi, with the stock pully. I gained almost 2psi!



Now all I need is some red wireloom from my engine bay, and I'll be there with you.

 

good job, enjoy it and listen to the blower which now sounds a tad bit louder yet many people enjoy that noise when you pull up at the redlight

 

2 psi is a lot.

 

Just wondering where you relocated the ww bottle?

 

I haven't yet. That picture was the "before".

 

ejj, what'd you use to connect the pipe to the S/C? and where did you buy it? I tried the whole home depot coupling this weekend and it just didnt work out, i need something better, thanks for any help.

 

I got it from Home Depot. Its a coupling for 3" ID PVC piping. Meaning that the ID of the coupling is greater than the OD of the piping. I measured the ID of the coupling and its just a tad under 3.5".

It was a little less than $5.

 

thanks
