question about intakes!?

[Billman]

you already have a short intake path....

oki,what about if it mount on 2.5 ael block,is it enough space under the hood on c4?
i mean that the intake will not touch the hood!!!????

It's car dependant, you will have to modify some things to make it fit correctly with that block

is it worth all the hassle that everyone seems to be having with fitting these manifolds?

(bonnets, etc)

Well, this car actually had the MTM Intake but the intercooler and exhaust manifold were wagner items. But yes, ultimately had the same issues with custom throttle cables, shorter PAS belt, wiring loom, and the last head ache of getting it to clear the bonnet. Its a bit messy but the gains are worth it. The cost of it all isnt in my opinion, certainly not with a standard engine/turbo. I have no doubt when you get into larger turbos and power it is the way to go.

I have driven a wagner equipped car with standard K24 turbo and homefry. There is a noticeable difference in throttle response, interestingly i also found driving around @2000rpms in 6th gear it had much better torque and felt more comfortable doing it. If you ever get to drive an ABY and AAN back to back, thats the difference. But its another step up from the AAN in terms of drive ability. As for actual power gains, i have no idea.

Intake wont give you more power by itself. the intake will allow less lag due to less pipework and lower intake temperatures as it's not heated by exhaust manifold which can lead to more power.

I would thing none!

Maybe a bit better spool and that's about it.

So , mates how much horse power and torq i can expect with intake from wagner or 034?
engine is stock,only tubular manifold and chip!

thanks in advance!
