Of all the intakes out there, this one checks all the boxes (with price being a major factor). I do have a question though with your data. Why were the dyno pulls only to 6500 rpm? I really want to see what happens in those last 500 rpm to the 7k redline. I'm currently running a Dinan tune and I find that if I shift at 6500 (before the turbos choke out) I get better acceleration on the top end in higher gears.
With this intake, do you still get gains running it to the 7k RPM redline, or would you recommend shifting at 6500 rpm for the best acceleration on stock turbos (despite the HP increase on the top end)?

Generally yes, but these intakes really help. Significant horsepower and torque improvement area under the curve correlates to better 60-130 and quarter mile times. The engine doesn't drop off nearly as much as with OEM airboxes.

We were originally targeting 3/31, but it looks like we are a bit delayed due to Covid-19. Right now we are tracking towards 4/17 and will update everyone if anything changes.
We do not have numbers on OEM vehicles at this time, but our units should still make gains over stock. Aside from power improvements shown on stage 2 vehicles, our intake greatly improves throttle feel (even more snappy) and sounds fantastic.

I have pure 900 turbo plus catless dp. Is 50whp increase possible? Was thinking of getting the weistec carbon intake but figure it’s too pricey for the minimal increase in power. This is very tempting

We haven't tested your exact setup, but we don't see why not. Air intake demand will be higher with the 900s, and given our design has a lower pressure drop it should help feed the turbos what they need to make power.

Mhm, running my own company with extensive e-commerce orders I am surprised modalworks e-commerce store has so much trouble just taking orders. Seems a rookie mistake for an online retailer to miss out. So, I don't think trying a lot of times will enable you to order it until Modalworks either updates the qty on hand in their backend tool, or allows pre-orders with extended shipment times. There are other options, but its up to Modalworks to manage and not you trying many times.
