intake tuning on kompressor engines?
what's the point?
maybe i'm wrong but isn't the supercharger the choke point. if it's gonna put out X pounds of boost no matter what, then what effect does a bigger intake or throttle body have?
full disclosure: i got a CF airbox but it's also b/c i really like the look

I've often worndered about the above as well...I see on your build thread you have those two carbon intake tubes listed as a mod you want to do...I asked around about that and was told those only work with the E55 cars and not our SL55's ...did you get those to work on your car...? Is there a source for these intake tubes for our SL55 if not what you have pictured (looks like the VRP intake tubes)...

i ordered them from Eurocharged. they say they're for the sl55 so i'm assuming they'll fit. i'll let you know when they arrive. i got them mainly for the look for the reason mentioned above. if they do increase hp then it's a bonus.
