Any benefit having the the air intake into the "cold" area versus the default location now? If there are benefits of having a CAI, was there a reason for leaving the air intake filter inside the engine bay?

Just for better understanding, if everything is the same and one were to just replace the C30 with a C38, would there be any reliability benefit say the C38 works less, say both systems ran 9PSI? Other than that I dont' see a benefit with going with a C38 if it requires more motor work, 15PSI is kinda crazy on stock high compression motor.

Sub'd in hopes of some pics or videos showing the layout of the IC without bumper on and routing of all the goods. Some close ups of all goods installed and so fourth would really help in deciding if this kit is right for me for sure. Thx

Seems to be enough space for the OEM air filter casing? Here in Moscow dusty air, "sporty" filters clogged quickly. Plus OEM cold air inlet...

In Moscow those roads get clogged quickly. Get a KTM - both problems solved.

i'm so sorry for your loss. but hey, at least weed's quasi-legal there. just get high enough to forget what personal freedom felt like.

I'm very interested in an automatic trans option for this kit. The price vs power numbers look fantastic. I've already got an Ecutek kit. Will there be a kit + ROM option?

Tons of detailed pics of Kraftwerks kit at sema, zero of JR kit?....... :-/

It's very mysterious, we know.

Brutal actually, knowing there are tons of vendors from this forum there taking detailed pics and videos I was REALLY hoping to see some more good stuff on this kit.

Drift-Office is already e-tuning my car. If they're going to be tuning this kit, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if they develop an AT tune.

looks nice.. this dyno reads about 30hp higher than other dyno? stock dynos are usually in the 150s ... either way it's tempting me of wanting this system and would like to see more pix..
also, since this kit was tuned with stock everything, will upgrading the full exhaust system void the warranty? i'm guessing yes, since that would require a new tune.. will you guys provide more maps or just a stock map? Sorry I just recently started to look into FI for this car, So i don't know too much about it...
I'm trying to see if buying the tuned kit or the TIY kit would be optimal..

thanks
