Has anyone checked IAT’s? I’ve attached the IAT’s for the stock unit. 1st picture is idling with car fully warmed up and second picture is cruising at 60. Ambient temperature is 80f.

Got my intake today. Cf quality was impressive and the install was really easy, took me ~30 mins.
Initial impressions: You can hear more turbo whistle, and spooling. Definitely more responsive to throttle input in S+ and Race, and like advertised above 5000 RPM is when you can feel a difference. Didn't have much time to drive around, but butt dyno says it is an improvement over my old UPD lifter filter kit.
Overall happy with it.

I now listened to that video on #36 again and just now recognize how obvious the turbo noise is....but I am confused, the MW intake recirculating the BOV back into the intake...so, why does it make that noise? I would expect that from venting into air and not recirculating?

Here is another video clip for those interested:

O man that video does a great job of letting you hear that recirculated blow off noise. I agree that VTA is way too obnoxious. The sound on the MW intake is about the maximum I would want of that blow off sound in a daily driver.

Here's a video I took of the ModalWorks Intake and catted (200 cell) downpipes. You hear the intake the most with the windows closed, you get a really cool hissing/sucking sounds under boost and you can hear the air vent back into the intake (I'm using stock diverter valves, no BOV adapters or any of that nonsense).

If you run any BOV (even with stock intake) it will sound exactly the same coming off throttle regardless of intake (since you're venting to atmosphere, not back into an intake). Here's what you can expect:

It will sound exactly the same under boost, the only difference with venting to the atmosphere will be the volume of the BOV sound. It'll be 2x-3x louder than the OEM valves dumping boost into open cone filters.
