AFE Intake on top of the MPPK ?
I recently got the MPPK installed, is it possible to have the AFE intake installed ? I know they replace the bottom airbox but....

You can always swap it out for the AFE...you just won't see as great a return as you would have without the MPPK...theoretically.
But it can definitely be done! |

With only a MPPK tune I tried dynoing with the original airbox, the "improved MPPK box and this with a free flow filter in.
Did the test without any filter in the box and the top off. As one of the guys said: "Well, now I have prove this filtershit is nothing but sound effect. At least when the mods are in the light end". Save your money unless you want to mod heavily /Krelle |

Did it for the sound brother, which is why I said very minor increase in performance if any. I was going to also say its not worth the money for power, but for the sound its worth it (to me at least). I will only be modding my car with bolt ons (ie catted downpipe and exhaust). No JB4 for me (well worth the money for the power delivered) as I own my car and feel its not worth the risk.

I know. Yep sound is nice, and owning the car makes one think twice about tuning..

I ask as leaving top off the oem airbox doesn't stack up, given that lid on n55 has feeder pipe built into it to inlet side of turbo. |
