They're an improvement over the stock inlets, DCI or no.

That's just it. I've read the same but at what whp / wtq over dci's? If it's just 20 or less I see no benefit compared to the hassle/cost

Should I do the MMP inlets AND the outlets? Has anyone done that and posted results?

[Fundguy1]

Outlets are just coming out. No data yet.

Depends on your mods. More mods, more power, more benefit.

Well, you can also run MaxBoost, which requires inlets. My problem is the install -- beyond my DIY comfort zone and too time consuming in any event. A shop install would probably be more than the cost of the inlets (assuming you can find a shop that can/will do them).

Yup my vents sit right in the way of passenger side located inlets... No way I'll give up my hood which means rb inlets are my only route.

My hood is different than yours, see my video below

I refuse to make a rain guard for the inlet filters.

Yup i know hoods are not the same but both vents around the same area. A little dampness on the cones are not going to do anything!

Water injection!!!

That'll cool the turbo's

Stock turbos E85 mix, RB inlets. Previous dyno is with MMP inlets, boost level was changed so not a direct back to back comparison.

Guys with jb4 only, is there a custom map you guys are running?

Plenty of maps. Do you mean with or without inlets? Burger, wedge, dzenno, jake, etc all have maps.

How much is everyone getting quoted for their installs on inlets?

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.

Have you all tried to reach out to Rob @ RB Turbos? I have a set of Super RB Evos coming in. The filter on the kit have a guard over the cone. It have a dual inlet, but not sure if it'll fit whatever inlet kit you all looking at purchasing. Might be worth a try. I also have a vented hood. A little water wouldn't hurt anything. I've drove through a few down pours without any issues. You're good as long as the cones doesn't get submerged or soaked in water.

Like u said, unless submerged it wouldnt really bother much. I think that cover you posted also blocks air

How do you figure that? Cool air comes into the engine bay via the front of the car. Unless you have a hood scoop over the intake, that cover wouldn't block any air flow.

Ok.. Gotcha

[335_MI6]

If you get the vargas inlets you don't have to worry about the vented hood. Just a thought

[jippii ensio]

RB inlets flow the best out of stock location inlets.

What do the RB inlets have to flow better than the VTT ones?
