Hiclone?
Hey guys, Im looking at putting a hiclone on the intake of my 09RA (prob 2, as thier website suggest better response and for fuel efficiency this way). Im wondering if anyone has gone down this route, or heard of anyone putting these in turbo'd cars. Thier site claims that it will assist the turbo to spool up up to 600rpm earlier. I am also running the gst basemap + boostpill tune, I am a little concerned that this may lean out my A/F ratio too much, any thoughts or ideas?

it's a fairy tale. With all of the bends that the air has to take to get into the engine not to mention that TURBO that blocks direct air flow and will obstruct anything that the hiclone will do to the intake flow. Then there's the throttle body, which will also disrupt any "swirling" action that thing will create. That product is a waste of money. Not only that but if it were to come loose it would get sucked into your turbo, which would result in a huge repair bill.
Mythbusters tested products like these a few years ago and found that all of them are a waste of money.
