I think thats their 1,000whp m240i.. That might be why

Would love to hear how it sounds and performs on stock turbo!

lol that would make sense. I currently have a Vargas GC with about 23psi boost, something is loud but I think it's a mix of the intake+bov, can't seem to hear the difference of the two when I release the gas but I will try to get a video uploaded

I'm curious how it will sound with a more modest setup compared to that clip. ie stock turbo

It's not too loud, if your exhaust is loud and you have an aftermarket open filter intake, you will barely hear it

I'm going to mount my GoPro on the front windshield and take a video so you can hear it better, tomorrow I will try and remember to do it

Does it affect throttle response in any way? Negative? As is?

Lol

Have you tried revving the car with the hood open and having someone out front to verify it's working properly? I'm pretty sure I get the same sounds from just the agency power intake. Or maybe it's just not coming off well on video..

Yes, I have done that many times, it works but just can't seem to hear it to well. Also I was thinking, If I let off around 5/6k rpm, it might sound better. Intake noise is loudest at around 3/4k rpm so less intake noise and more boost at higher Rpms might uncover the sound a little better

Oh okay, yes that would make sense. Other than sound, have they claimed any performance benefit, and do you feel any difference?

This is not a performance mod. This is an aftermarket turbo longevity mod. If all you care about is sound, get an intake.

luca10 · 02-11-2021, 07:36 PM

No performance difference, I just bought for the sound. Sounds a bit different from an intake, similar but different
