AEM Intake - Wrapped Gold
 

Intake is sold!

Sexy wrap job. Did you do the coolant bypass around the throttle body as well?
By design they run warm coolant around the throttle body to warm the air...mainly for cold weather season etc. Might have had more effect if you did.

found the link I read somewhere on the mass interwebs: http://www.rotaryinsider.com/diy-tac...pass-gap29.htm

:lol:, Coolant Bypass Mod = #1 mod in the ricer bible.

Bump for a good seller, GLWS :)

I didn't do the bypass mod as I think perceived gains from it are far-fetched. I wrapped the intake with zero intention of it doing anything positive for the performance, I just thought it looked cool...

Yes, 9k :) it is very rice......but aren't you running that line through your turbo anyways? ;)
I'll hopefully be joining those turbo ranks this spring....just need to get installing myself.

*bump yet again for a good seller and good price on an AEM CAI

No my turbo is on it's own cooling circuit with a reservoir, front mounted heat exchanger, and a Bosch water pump.

I need to spend a little more time reading your build thread >.>
Nothing I haven't done already... lol
