What's the problem?

So, will this intake (having a large 3.5" MAF diameter) help us produce a significant increase in power on a fully or moderately bolted and tuned stock K04 car vs. another aftermarket intake/TIP with stock MAF diameter? ... or will this mostly benefit the BT crew?

this looks like a great invesment :) just might hop on this

Definitely not going to be necessary for the stock turbo.

But, if you think there's a possibility you might get a big turbo in the future, it's probably a good investment.

Also, as long as your MAF is calibrated correctly, I don't see a problem with getting "too big" of an intake. But you won't see any extra power unless you're pegging your MAF on the stock turbo - I'm not aware of anyone doing this, but that doesn't mean it hasn't happened.

You will see some benefit on the stock turbo, the MAF getting pegged is only part of the story. A larger diameter will keep the Pre-Compressor pressure higher, which has a large impact on compressor efficiency. Better efficiency means lower bats and reduced back pressure. The stock turbo might not flow enough to make a huge difference but there will be "some" change. The only reason not to get this intake vs any other on the market is if you are just looking to bolt on with no tuning required.

Didn't know that - I stand corrected.

Ziggo, with all due respect, I don't think I understand this. Please pardon my ignorance, and correct me where I'm wrong. Flame suit on.

First of all, how can a big intake and/or big MAF possibly have any impact at all on pre-turbine pressures? The turbine is sitting in the exhaust gas flow.

What I thought I understood - admittedly, not much - is that a big intake will reduce the air resistance the turbo (compressor) experiences. For a given flow through the EWG and therefore a given torque on the turbo spindle, the spindle should spool up faster; it should achieve the same level of boost more quickly. A big intake won't help you get more boost, it'll help you get the same boost quicker. It's like the old BASF tagline...

Is that what you meant by compressor efficiency?

Or, where did I go wrong?

I just said turbine instead of compressor. meant compressor. Will edit and change.

Don't waste your time fucking with that thing. People want a Tial for the name. Must be legit if you're running a Tial. Fuck that, dude.

Get an HKS and call it a day. You'll never have to fuck with it. Just don't use the little tri-fin thingy. It whistles.

Fuck, thank you, man!

The last thing we need is another fucking cat back.

I like the fact that ALL of your parts are intended to increase performance, not just look pretty or sound good.

BTW, how do I come up on a couple JBR logo stickers??

Hear, hear! I was going to seriously question JBR's judgment (for the first time!) if he was planning to dump yet another exhaust on the market.

But, a reasonably-priced, well-conceived and -executed FMIC...one that doesn't require cutting the bumper or replacing the crash bar and, most importantly, one that comes in a wrinkle-black finish with a JBR logo prominently displayed...now THAT would be the shit!

So, if the first batch is full, when do we start to order?

No fucking spring seals it at vaccum. If you put washers and seal it you get surge. So it's a fuck you fuck you situation. It works as a recirc pretty well tho.

Lol sold that turd years ago.

What springs did you use?

I'm using the plain spring. Bekim using the yellow and still won't seal.

With recirc and stock coupler for me!!

LOL @ turd. It's just about the only BPV you can run VTA without tuning and requires absolutely no maintenance or adjusting in it's entire life span.

Damn, I have to stop doing this in Jamie's threads. I keep getting off topic and cluttering shit up. Sorry Jamie, I'll knock it off.

Like you said, I'm not cluttering jamies thread.

OP updated....

We're welding and powder coating with an anticipated ship date of 7/2. The only hang up will be the filters. Still waiting on them to arrive. They will not ship without filters.

You guys are welcome to talk about anything you want in my threads. The only posts read are the 1st few and the last few anyway right?

Thanks,
Jamie

@jbarone

Can you please fill my spot with someone else for the first batch. I had something come up and wont have the funds to purchase for awhile.

The ricer in me wants this real bad.

Put me down for recirc k04 please. PM me when you're ready to take all my money, as if I don't run enough of your parts already.

Great news!! Filters will be here wednesday, intakes are just about finished and shipping will begin on 7/2. I will be adding them to the site and ordering will begin soon. Stay tuned.

Thanks,
Jamie

Anymore spots left on the first batch?? Anywho put me down for ko4 with recirc please.

Put me down for one with recirc and stock coupler as well, I'll take @jdub0802's spot if it already hasnt been claimed.

Hurry UP!!! lol :sly:

So how are we in the first batch getting these when the order is placed if you put them on the site? is it goign to end up becoming a first come first serve type of deal, and even those not on the list can order them?
im confused :ugh: lol

Thats exactly what I was confused about. why be on a list if someone that isn't can order it. I think all on the list have the money to pay for it now to ensure the reason to be on a "first batch list"

Pretty sure he'll either:
A. pm everyone a link that isn't public (i.e. when you go to JBR site you don't see it)
B. PM paypal info and have you pay him directly

..what's so confusing?

Ummm probably this part ?? :fing26:

Calm down guys. Jamie is obviously has a plan otherwise he wouldn't have bothered taking names.

I am calm.. 15 mins ago i was even calmer.. you dont want to wait around another half hour, cause ill be ripping your fucking head off. :dance: lol

You mean with this part?

Also it was said something about first come first serve... But there a list..

Jamie, Can you update mine. It should only have a k04 coupler not a k04 and bt coupler. Thanks

Tim

no the part i quoted under my comment doofous.. where Jamie stated that he would be posting them to his site soon for orders. :wave:

I don't doubt Jamie will take care of all the people on the list. Think that's what he meant by first come first served.

i dont doubt either.. ive had nothing but good things from Jamie.. but its coming down the the last week. and i would just like to know what the game plan is. :headbang:

Obviously Jamie is sending these to us free for beta testing

i like this idea. lol :147:

This is what I'm talking about...
