Guys who do inlets should add before and after datalogs* with no other changes. I'd be curious to see any changes to waste gate duty cycles. That would show evidence of the turbo's working less, being more efficient and it should translate to more power.

This is the first I've ever heard of someone selling inlets. Why are you selling?

+1. My guess is someone is parting out or they were ordered and never installed. It's a shop. What condition are they in?

We are a shop www.MarkertMotorworks.com we kinda just buy stuff and stick it in my boss' 335 and see what power we can get or if it blows up then we take it off and try something else right now he has RB inlets in and soon enough we'll have more dyno sheets unless it blows up.

So the MMP inlets blew up since you replaced them with RB inlets? If you take off the RBs and sell them, post them up here.

That's the way I took his post too but I don't think he meant it that way.

My engine bay is a mess at 225,000 miles and a leaky oil filter gasket so I really could care less about looks.
PR doesn't require any splicing

No, nothing blew up. We're just trying out different inlets.

We are doing this for R&D so we know what to tell customers what worked for us and what did not.

Well, after all this research and debate on inlets I finally realized I'm stuck to use either rb or vtt inlets since they're the only ones that route the stock configuration.
All the others I can't use because my hood (which I will not give up) is vented. And 1 of those vents tests right over where the inlets on the passenger side, would reside. I could make a rain guard but I'd then worry about splashing.

I don't even know if the rb or vtt provide that much benefit over stock inlets with dci's to hassle with the labor.
I'll need to start reading up on these next.

Why wouldn't inlets with the OEM config (maintaining DCIs) provide any benefit over stock inlets and DCIs? I thought it was established they would, else why all this talk in various threads and forums that if you want to keep your DCIs, just get RB or VTT inlets? They're an improvement over the stock inlets, DCI or no.

They DEFINITELY help WAY over OEM. We have one shop who has even dumped some other popular aftermarket inlet options as they've found to like ours much better. Perhaps it is a fluke but they've ordered numerous more sets since back to back testing. Numerous dyno testing threads are surfacing as well, showing substantial gains, another thread recently showed our turbos and inlets making 503rwhp on pump gas- making it a pump gas stock frame turbo record.

I will be running inlets with my vented hood. I don't thinks its going to be much of an issue but still waiting to hear back from TFT on it.
