Looks like CTS took a page from MSTs book lol. Now someone needs to buy this and take measurements, but given the design and fitment of the MST, i don't see any way this can be bigger/better. In for measurements though once someone buys it.

was just gonna say this

Just bought it a minute ago. For $100 less than MST, I figured it why not. Once it arrived I'll take measurements and let you all know

happy with my CTS downpipe and FMIC, so this is definitely on the list depending on how it ends up comparing to the MST

I'll buy this as soon as hear back from inner diameter measurements compared to mst
Cool to see another product pop up

Nice. My post here is a good one to reference if you want to see what to measure (see imgur photo album) and some photos of install, data logs, etc.

The inlet just arrived! I took some quick measurements and the intake side was ~3.35 and the turbo side is ~2.35. Given I was using a ruler theres +/- 0.1 inch of error. For those of you who have an MST, how does this compare?

I'm going to follow your post and generate some data within the next week or two

Measurements are in the imgur album, for example here is ID of MST, turbo side:

So they seem nearly identical in terms of size
If I'm seeing it correctly

They should be. I don't see any way this can have a meaningfully larger ID, since the MST v2 is very thin already.

^ identical to the MST V2? sorry, for some reason the imgur link is not working for me so can't compare to the numbers SC435i posted

It should be. I measured 2.2225 in for MST v2 with a digital caliper. He measured slightly more but said 0.1 in margin for error since he used a ruler.

Will these work with ATM intercooler? The ATM intercooler fitment is not straightforward for the chargepipe side as the intercooler angle is slightly off compared to stock.

This is an inlet
Mounts to turbo inlet and intake pipe, nothing to do with any intercooler piping so you're good to go.

That's a damn good price

I'm gearing up for a PS2 install, and need a proper intake pipe for it. Will this product work with a PS2 turbo?

I see the MST counterpart has 2 versions, 1 for stock turbos, and 1 for hybrid setups. At a considerable price bump.

I'd like to get the CTS if it will work properly. Thanks

Always get the larger diameter one even if stock turbo. For MST that is v2. The stock turbo and PS2 are the same ID where the inlet slides into the turbo, the v2 is just thinner than the v1. In other words the OD of the inlet is always the same (where it goes into the turbo). But i don't think anyone ever measured the CTS to see how it compared to MST.

I just picked this up as well, didn't notice CTS turbo made inlets for N55 lol

Wanted to get the MST inlet to accommodate my MST intake but they were out of stock till God knows when, but I saw this post and the cts and mst is essentially the same so I emailed them and they had it in stock.

Haven't done any logs yet to see how it works with PS2 but quality is good.
