intake choice advice?
Which intake I should go for more power figures / response & induction noise?
The looks are also important
I am hesitating between Weistec and Eventuri.
Weistec sounds better, Eventuri's sound very subtle, but it's got the looks!
Power-wise I understand they are the same?

BMS is the only choice when all factors are considered.

Someone might be but we've done extensive 1/2 mile testing in warm weather and showed the IAT was no worse than the factory intake. Between the factor cold air ducting, the radiant heat shield, and the fact that air in the engine bay is evacuated ever few seconds at high engine speed, it didn't come as a surprise.

Thanks, BMS - but I guess I like them systems with closed (or what's the word - isolated) air filters that are not exposed.

How can you compare Weistec to it.. jesus

No problem. Just be aware fully closed systems out can not provide the same level of performance due to reduced airlfow and don't give you the same level of sound.

well, you would to have to back that up with data and measure your airflow and compare to eventuri, Weistec and other sealed systems. Sound - yeah it’s different but depends what you like it maybe better or worse.

If I read that chart correct because the TQ peak is at the lower RPM and the pre-intake curve has a little peak there around 3500RPM. At low RPM the two curves don't look much different other than some different smaller peaks/valleys...The intake gains are at the higher RPM...where the TQ falls off from peak....

Intakes are all about increasing horsepower, and it typically manifests at the top end of the rpm band where the factory intake is no longer able to supply enough for the high airflow demands. Esp on a turbocharged car, its all about increasing flow. It's very typical that intakes may even lose a few mid range or low end horsepower, but more than make up for it with gains on the top end. I would gladly take trade 5 torque for 30 horse power
If you prioritize sound and looks, great. I think most intakes are going to sound better than stock, open filter intakes moreso. Also closed intakes are probably not keeping IATs down meaningfully over open filter intakes. BMS intake is not pretty compared to other options, true. Whether those better looks are worth 3-5x the price, is a personal choice.
If you want hp and bang for buck, BMS or Modal are it. Both companies have provided really good data and info on their products . if you want looks at top dollar, aventuri is beatiful.

Like I laid out in the other thread, our intake offers tons of performance improvements, and the production design will be carbon fiber. You can pre-order now for a steal, $400 now and $400 due at launch.

Air filter quality sensors remain plugged in and tied back to the surrounding loom, they are not utilized in our design. For the badge relocation, we are exploring some options, primary being an adapter piece that connects to the top of the oil cap. This will likely be anodized aluminum, let us know your thoughts!

thats OK - but ultimately i think it should be on the tube, or don't bother.

The oil cap is always clocked in the same position so orientation isn't an issue. The current design has a slight interference fit that sits snugly on the cap.

We didn't create an indention on the tube to keep the flow optimized. The effects are likely tiny, but we never simulated or tested for it so it hasn't made it in. I'm looking at an alternative placement for the build plaque that effectively puts it in the gap on the left intake to mirror the location of the oil cap.

I don’t understand this obsession with displaying the plaque on aftermarket intakes. To me, aftermarket performance parts are always function over form - whatever has the best results.
I’m sure they could create a new mold/design to add a raised area, but this is adding unnecessary cost. Personally, with intakes, I’m not wanting to spend well over a grand for something that adds some top end power. I’d be happier putting that money towards some new, stickier tires.
I will say I’m the kinda guy that’s interested in the regular plastic version modalworks is doing for their pre-production. I’m sure the CF version will look cooler and weigh 2 ounces less than plastic, but it adds unnecessary cost to a part that shouldn’t cost a fortune in my opinion.

How often are you in your engine bay? The only time my hood opens is when I’m giving my car a wash/wipe down to clean. So to that point, I don’t really care what an intake looks like as long as it performs as stated.
The fact that we have hot-V mounted turbos with reverse flow heads already makes the engine bay way cooler to look at then the 99% of cars that hide everything with giant plastic engine covers.
