Upgraded Inlets Owner Poll

[NoGuru]

Been storming and raining all weekend and still raining now... must wait until good light and weather is out to film.
But if you're asking me if I am satisfied with the purchase, then I tell you I am more than satisfied. Good service, and very good product. But beware... safe your sanity and find a good shop to install, it is worth the money. If I had to do it again, I would let someone else install because it is a pain in the ass.

I second that for ANY inlets.

I was worried from all the warnings on "hotside"... my observations are the warnings were unfounded. With proper shields and air reflow ducts, there is zero increase in IATs. On mine there was an actual decrease in IAT after installing air reflow ducts.

I still have my 1.75 relocation inlets I will give you for cheap.

I still have my RB stock Silicon inlets in a box from like five years ago when they were first released. Never got around installing them ... yet.

Despite my love of cheap, idk if i'd run that vrsf kit...ill consider it

i thought you reused it with yout new turbos and just did 2inch couplers?

This tray here.

@matreyia, I saw that tray in the Turner kit but did you buy it separate? How can I get it? I am salivating!!!!

I got it separate. It does not come with the seal. That seal was old seal from the cut up rain gutter plaster stock cowl you see next to the windshield. It is very expensive for what it is...a piece of metal for $150. But it is totally necessary and does reduce IAT noticeably at freeway speeds.

Part Number:
020413TMS06KT

currently $137.00 on sale.

Great, I didn't realize they sold it separate. Now if they sell the part that surrounds the filters that would be a game changer.

I don't know what part you are referring to. But if you mean the cover over the filters themselves, then that would be a no no...because those are custom and will only fit their kit. The ARM relocation inlets kit has its own cover that goes over the cone filters to shield it from the engine heat...but I did not use it because the shield would block direct air from the Turner air ducting. And also because the ARM kit comes with an exhaust manifold cover that effectively shields most heat from the exhaust / turbos.

I take it you have never seen there $1000 kit. Check out the part that isolates the filters. https://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-...ide-intakes-335i/?pdk=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAECAQICAgM

Yeah, that's what I am talking about. It won't fit your inlets if they are not turner. At least that's what I am understanding. But I could be wrong.

I also got this bracket to relocate my canisters on the driver side below the HPFP.

I just removed my canisters.
You could just bore out the diameter of the holes for the filters if the turner block off didn't fit. That part would make more difference then all off the other stuff.
I consider making a custom one just about every day but I don't have the resources.

I would be wary of that because it's not the hole diameter that is the problem..its the offset distances of the opening through which the inlet hoses go through. Tgei hoses are cut different lengths and are also two piece design with couplers. So the ends are different lengths. So far, PR relocated inlets and ARM relocated inlets have different lengths and diameters. So i am wary of the ends.

Never knew Turner Motorsport have stock location inlets, unless these are a new product?
Has anyone fitted them up? Still deciding which to purchase.
