Injen is ok but no intake is really going to add any power on a turbo car untill you upgrade your turbo and all other supporting mods, all an intake is really good for with minimal mods is to make spool sound louder and the BOV louder.

I would recommend getting an exhaust before an intake and maybe a fuel pump next if your a VIII driver anyway

that pretty much sums it up and intake does nothing but give you a different sound and look decent (personally i like the look of the stock one). your best bet if you are looking for an intake is just to get a K&N drop in. and save for an exhaust, that's where you'll see some power.

Agreed with Ron and Emonz. Thats the best way to do it. Theres no real power gain doing that. Go with an exhaust.

Evos have K&N drop ins stock as far as I know. My airbox had a K&N in it and had a K&N decal in it as well. Just dont get a K&N typhoon because it is a horror to the Evo and causes trouble

hey Emonz, curious why the K&N typhooon is bad for the EVO. also, i'm pretty sure that the evo's didn't come stock w/ K&N filter... unles it was changed before my friend got his 03 VIII he had to replace it. and on a few sites i've heard that a K&N drop in is one of the first things you can/should do...
